Original description: Shell of two complete segments, a fragile, generally incomplete, third segment, and three feet; first two segments pyriform with contour of cephalis and thorax merging. Cephalis subspherical with a few, small, circular pores bearing a stout, finely striated, conical horn; internally collar stricture with four collar pores; externally an upwardly directed vertical pore opens from the thick thoracic wall which envelopes the basal cephalis. Thorax subcampanulate, asymmetric proximally where the vertical pore expands the shell wall; surface smooth or finely papillate; pores subcircular, frequently with uneven margins, irregular in size, shape, and distribution. Three stout, finely striated feet depend from the distal thorax. A third segment with a thin, fragile, irregularly porous wall joins the three feet proximally. When broken away or not well developed, tiny thorns on the inner margin of the proximal feet and fragments attached to the thorax indicate its probable presence.
