Original Description
Gate roundish pentagonal. Ring very thick (about as thick as the radius of the gate), irregularly pentagonal, with prominent sagittal edge. On both sides of the latter arise at the five corners five pairs of short simple irregularly curved spines. The four ventral spines are larger than the four dorsal, and the two basal spines larger than the eight former, forked. (In fig. 8 the basal spines are turned upwards.)

Diameter of the gate 0.07; length of the spines 0.04 to 0.06.
