Original description: [Mehrota and Sarjeant, 1987]:

Diagnosis:
Proximate, acrocavate cysts, cingulotabulate to cryptotabulate, with an ellipsoidal central body and long apical and antapical horns. The apical
horn may exhibit an apicular structure. The antapical horn bears a small lateral outgrowth or spur, generally arising from mid-length or a point close to it. Cavation is well developed along the apical and antapical horns; elsewhere the periphagm and endophragm remain appressed. Periphragm thinner than the endophragm. The endophragm forms epistomia closing the bases of the apical and antapical horns- these epistomia may not be confined to the horn bases, but may extend throughout the horn length, filling the horns entirely.
Archaeopyle intercalary (type I), according with hexa-2a type of Lentin and Williams, 1976 (TAI 0.37-0.43; TAR 0.60-0.77).
