Original Description

Phacoid shell three times as broad as the outer and ten times as broad as the inner medullary shell, connected with both by six equidistant piercing radial beams. The margin of the phacoid shell is surrounded by one or two equatorial rings, each as broad as the outer medullary shell, and divided by thirty to forty radial beams into narrow chambers. Pores subregular, circular, about nine to ten on the radius of the phacoid shell, three to four on the breadth of each ring. Margin of the disk ciliated, with six regularly disposed radial spines as prolongations of the inner six piercing beams. Each spine cylindrical, delicately crenulated, about as broad as the inner medullary shell, and once to twice as long as the diameter of the whole disk, elegantly undulated, with a conical terminal point.

Size:
Diameter of the disk (with two rings) 0.32, of the phacoid shell 0.2, of the outer medullary shell 0.06, of the inner 0.02.
