Original Description

Shell approximately spherical in general form. Cephalis subspherical, poreless or with a few small pores, with horn either short or absent. Collar stricture pronounced. Thorax very inflated pyriform, approaching a sphere, with rather delicate wall (especially in the more recent specimens) and pores circular to polygonal. increasing in size away from the collar stricture and then decreasing somewhat. Thoracic surface with very short thorns. Distal margin of thorax much narrower than its widest part. Abdomen short, inverted cap-shaped, with wall structure similar to adjacent part of thorax, and lumbar stricture distinguished externally by a very slight, if any, change in contour.

Size:
(Based on a total of 25 specimens) Total length 315-435µm. Maximum breadth 305-435µm.

Etymology:
From the Greek neatos = youngest.
