Original description as Coniferatum frontierense: [Burgess, 1971, p. 81]:

Description:
Test dorsoventrally flattened, rounded polygonal in outline. A prominent girdle divides the epitheca from the hypotheca. The sculpture consists of a fine to coarse reticulum, being coarsest in the apical, antapical, and girdle areas. The outer reticulate wall is in contact with the capsule except at the poles.
Precingular archeopyle is always present as a triangular- to arch-shaped opening.
The epitheca terminates in a rounded knoblike reticulate mass of spongy tissue.
