Original Description

Phacoid shell having 14 short (possibly about the same length as the radius of the shell), generally triangular, very stout, marginal rays, these rays more or less regularly disposed, and similar in form with more or less blunted blades, with slight flared bases without basal riblets; equatorial girdle scarcely more than a continuous rim around the margin of the shell connected with the rays and, like them, hyaline; globular medullary shell small (0.3 diameter of cortical shell); supporting radial beams rodlike and apparently few in number; pores of cortical shell regularly and similarly circular, widely spaced, and few in number (not over 8 in a radius).

Size:
Diameter of phacoid shell 130µm, of medullary shell 38.6µm, of cortical pores 4.4µm; maximum length of rays 47.4µm. Our single photographed specimen was tipped on one side so that the measurements are somewhat distorted.

Etymology:
No information given
