Original Description
Cortical shell nearly smooth, but with twelve strong conical radial spines; four in the lateral plane opposite in pairs (two on the poles of the principal, and two on the poles of the transverse axis); eight others opposite in pairs in two crossed diagonal planes. Pores with a peculiar disposition: twelve large elliptical pores in two crossed meridian planes (alternating with the twelve spines), separated by bands of irregular small pores. Proportion of the three axes = 1: 1.5: 2. Medullary shell hexagonal, one-third as long as the cortical shell.
Size: Length of the cortical shell 0.15, breadth 0.11, height 0.08; large pores 0.03, small pores 0.005 to 0.01, bars 0.003; length of the medullary shell 0.05.
