Original Description

Outer cortical shell smooth, lenticular, with circular circumference, with very delicate irregular network and small roundish pores. Its distance from the inner much greater in the four diagonal points than in the four polar points. Inner cortical shell regular, cross-like, with four cupolas of similar size and form. Pores subregular, circular, twice as broad as the bars; eight to ten in the basal semicircle of one cupola. Medullary shell lenticular.

Diameter of the outer cortical shell 160µm, of the inner 120µm; pores of the inner 8µm, bars 4µm.

Etymology:
Latin lenticularis, -is, -e = lense-shaped
