Original Description
Cephalis large, flatly cap-shaped, with irregular, small polygonal meshes. Thorax flat, umbrella-shaped, with subregular, hexagonal meshes, and sixteen strong radial ribs. Four of these are perradial, and centrifugal prolongations of the four crossed collar beams; four others are interradial, and arise, alternating with the former, directly from the horizontal collar ring; eight ribs are adradial or tertiary, and arise in pairs from the four large perradial basal arches of the thorax, which become bisected by the four primary ribs. Peristome irregularly denticulate.
Cephalis 0.02 long, 0.06 broad; thorax 0.12 long, 0.32 broad.
