The dorsal rod is straight and vertical, prolonged upwards into a short serrate apical horn, downwards into a straight linear caudal foot. The ventral rod is curved and prolonged into a similar sternal foot. Basal ring hexagonal, with four ovate gates (two smaller jugular and two larger cardinal pores); its four lateral corners prolonged into four curved thorny lateral feet (two anterior larger pectoral, and two posterior smaller tergal feet). This species may be regarded as a commencing Hexaspyris or Liriospyris.
