Original Description

Shell flatly conical or tent-shaped, with nearly straight lateral outlines; apical part somewhat higher. Apex with three cortinar pores, surrounded by a few girdles of larger pores. From these there arise about twelve to fifteen strong radial beams at unequal distances; these are somewhat curved and irregularly branched. The network between them has irregular polygonal meshes and is more delicate towards the periphery. Margin with twenty-four to thirty irregular indentations or concave excisions, separated by the prominent distal ends of the branched ribs.

Shell 0.16 long, 0.4 broad. [dimensions in mm]
