Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Tangential wall): Wall formed of crystals with tangential c-axes (Thoracosphara s.l.)
This taxon: Spherical, with circular archaeopyle, no paratabulation. Wall structure irregular with tangential c-axes.
Original description: Spherical calcareous dinoflagellate cysts with circular archaeopyles, not showing paratabulation. The outer calcareous wall consists of irregularly shaped and arranged crystallites. Under the light microscope in crossed nicols and with gypsum plate, thin sections exhibit clear interference colours and have a positive optic sign, thus indicating tangentially oriented c-axes.
