Original description: (6-articul.), clavata laevis, capitulo parvo subgloboso inermi integerrimo. Artic. II primo angustior cum 3 sequentibus sensim dilatatis, latior quam longus. Artic. VI urceolato-ovatus. 4 medii articuli cellularum parvarum series transversas 2-4 gerunt. Artic. VI in anteriore parte minorum cellularum series transversas 5, in posteriore parte valde increscentes ibique sparsas gerit. In observato specimine postica pars non integra videbatur.
[6-segmented, clavate, smooth, with cephalis small, subglobose, unarmed and entire. Second segment narrower than the first, with the three following gradually dilate, broader than long. Sixth segment urceolate-ovate. The four median segments have 2-4 transverse rows of small pores. Sixth segment with five transverse rows of pores in the anterior part, posteriorly the pores greatly increasing in size and everywhere sparse. In the observed specimen, the posterior part did not seem to be whole. (Translated from Latin by E.M.R. and W.R.R.)]
Length 150µm, of cephalis 15µm of last segment 75µm. 4 small pores in 23µm.
