Original description: Cells subspherical, 4-7 µm diameter; flagella 2 equal, 20-25 µm long and a haptonema, 16-30 µm long when extended. Scales of two types, inner scales plate-like, oval to sub circular, length 0.6-1.0 µm, breadth 0.5-1.0 µm, thin with a cruciform plane centre and a pattern of radiating ridges visible on both surfaces but the ridges covered with a thin band of concentrically striated material on the distal surface near the edge. Outer scales cylindrical straight-sided, very thin, diameter 0.1-0.2 µm, length very variable 0.5-3.0 µm, arising centrally from a stouter radially striated base plate diameter 0.4-0.5 µm; base plates without attached cylinders frequent. 2 lateral orange chloroplasts with non-projecting pyrenoids.

Cellula subsphaerica, 4-7 µm diam.; flagella 2 aequalia, 20-25 µm longa; haptonema 16-30 µm longum. Squamae dimorphae. Squama strati interioris laminaris, ovalis vel suborbicularis, 0.6-1.0 µm longa, 0.5-1.0 µm lata, tenuis, area centrali plana, circllm eam carinis radiantibus utrinque visibilibus ornata, clava tenui concentrice striata ultimas partes carinarum extra obtegente. Squama strati exterioris cylindrica, lateribus rectis, tenuissima, 0.1-0.2 µm diam., longitudinis pervariae, 0.5-3.0 µm Zonga, e lamina basali crassiore, 0.4-0.5 µm diam., radiatim striata oriens, laminis basalibus cylindris carentibus multis observatis. Chloroplasti 2 pallideflllvi, laterales, pyrenoida non projecta gerentes.
