A species of Gonyaulax with nearly isometric shell and the following tabulation scheme: 4', 6'', 6''', 1p, 1''''.
The equatorial girdle furrow is laevoritatory. The longitudinal furrow is broadened on the hypotheca. The thick setting of the theca consists of low blisters.

Remark:
The holotype is a single find.

Affinities:
Comparison to other Gonyaulx species is prohibited by the peculiar ornamentation.

Woollam and Riding, 1983, p. 3: Acanthaulax crispa
This species has similar intratabular ornament and therefore it is more appropriately assigned to Acanthaulax.
