Original Description
Disk with smooth surface, two and a half times as broad as the medullary shell. Pores irregular, roundish; ten to twelve on the radius of the disk. Margin with a broad solid equatorial girdle, which bears on the periphery six conical teeth, three on each half between the two main spines, which are cylindrical, longer than the diameter of the disk, and half as broad as the girdle. (This species can be derived from Heliosestrum, two opposite spines of the eight marginal spines being much stronger developed than the other six.)
Diameter of the disk 0.15, of the medullary shell 0.06; length of both main spines 0.2, breadth 0.01.
