Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Kamptneriaceae): Arkhangelskielids with shields predominantly formed of V-units, thus dark in cross-polarised light; R-units form bright band at core of shield.
This taxon: Tiered placoliths with broad rim that has an asymmetric flange forming a wing and narrow central area spanned by a perforate plate. Typical kamptneriacean LM image with a narrow, dark outer-cycle; a diagnostic, bright median-cycle; a dark, inner-cycle; and a dark central area plate.
