Original Description
Surface of the shell smooth. Both principal cupolas (on the poles of the longitudinal axis) larger than the two lateral (on the poles of the transverse axis), and these larger than the two sagittal cupolas (on the poles of the sagittal axis). Therefore all three fundamental axes unequal. Pores irregular, roundish, twice to four times as broad as the bars; eight to twelve in the basal semicircle of each cupola. Medullary shell lentelliptical.
Size: Major (principal) axis 0.16, middle (lateral) axis 0.14, minor (sagittal) axis 0.12; pores 0.006 to 0.012, bars 0.003.
