Original Description

Posee forma de campana. La concha estádividada in cabeza y torax. La superficie está cubierta de poros subredondeados de distinto tamaño irregularmente dispuestos. La cabeza tiene diversas espinas, unas más largas que otras, algunas de las cuales aparecen rotas en el ejemplar estudiado. El resto del cuerpo es liso, exceptuando la parte basal que posee espinas o pies que son, en realidad, la terminación de las barras de los poros que se prolongan hacia el exterior. Estos pies son muy numerosos, approximadamente en número de 20, y mas cortos que las espinas de la cabeza.


Translation:
Shell campanulate sub-divided into cephalis and thorax. Surface perforated by sub-circular pores of different size and irregularly distributed. Cephalis with many spines, some larger than others, some of which apparently broken in the analyzed specimen. The other part of the shell is smooth, excepted the basal part that has spines, or feet, that are in fact the externally prolonged terminations of the pore frames. These feet are numerous, approximately 20, and shorter than the cephalic spines. (In Spanish. Translated by J.P.C.)]
