Solitary, large, ceratoid to cylindrical, major septa long, numerous, amplexoid, minor septa short longitudinal ridges, their peripheral edges thickened and contiguous with those of major septa to form narrow stereozone, tabulae slightly convex, flat or depressed axially, depressed at fossula with short cardinal septum, no axial structure, no dissepiments. [Sensu STUMM, 1965, p. 23; neotype requires study by thin section before generic and subfamily names may be safely used.]
