Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (placoliths inc sedis):
This taxon: Unicyclic, elliptical and circular placolith coccoliths with a narrow or closed central area and a characteristically dark gray (low birefringence) XPL image.


Morphology:

Worsley (1971) described the genus Esgia based on a specimen similar to Haqius circumradiatus. We use Haqius here as it alone has consistently been used for coccoliths of this group.
