Original description: [Cookson and Eisenack, 1970, p.150]:

Description:
Shell oval, surmounted by a small apical projection with a blunt tip. General surface rather densely covered with short, slightly capitate appendages that are most prominent in the antapical region, shorter and relatively indistinct towards the apex and completely absent from the apical horn. The appendages are enveloped in a thin membrane. In the equatorial region they appear to diverge slightly, possibly due to the existence of an indistinct girdle. No indication of an archeopyle is present.

Dimensions:
Holotype: Shell without horn c. 60 µm, with horn c. 70 µm. Overall length c. 75 µm, overall breadth c. 50 µm, length of appendages c. 4-6 µm.
