Solitary, somewhat scolecoid, epitheca almost smooth, with relatively simple axial structure, comprising lathlike columella commonly separated from septa in late stages and buttressed by sharply upturned axial parts of tabulae, a very few radial septal lamellae may appear in some, cardinal septum short, even in earliest known stage, counter septum may remain long but other septa withdraw from axis, septal insertion accelerated in counter quadrants, wall very thin, minor septa represented only by epithecal grooves or rudimentary, tabulae commonly complete, flat, with downturned edges and updrawn axial parts, septa thickened in early stages, septal trabeculae very fine, close, arranged fanwise, normal to more or less convex distal edges of septa.
