Original Description
Shell nearly pear-shaped, with two distinct annular strictures, and uneven papillate surface. The total length is equal to twice the greatest breadth, and to seven times the length of the ring. Apical horn free, irregularly branched and fenestrated, as long as the included columella beyond it. The three diverging feet are strongly curved, S-shaped, and completely included by loose lattice-work. In the middle of their length they give off a simple strong lateral branch. The loose arachnoidal lattice-work is rather equally developed.
Size: Length of the entire shell (including the apophyses) 0.5, greatest breadth 0.25, ring 0.07 long.
