Original Description

Proportion of the longer axis to the shorter = 3: 2. Network of the thin wall very irregular, with roundish or longish pores of very different size and form. Pores flat, with even margins, thirty to forty on the half equator, twice to six times as broad as the bars. Surface smooth. (This species being observed alive, showed a transparent central capsule of ellipsoidal form, two-thirds as large as the shell.)

Longer axis of the ellipsoid 0.3, shorter axis 0.2; pores 0.01 to 0.012, bars 0.002. [dimensions in mm]

Editors' Notes
