Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Eprolithus): Moderately tall, circular to stellate, multiradiate nannoliths with 5-9 petaloid wall-cycle elements surrounding a wide central area spanned by a median diaphragm. Typically H-shaped in side view.
This taxon: Eprolithus with nine wall-elements and tall wall
