Original description: Eisenack and Cookson, 1960, p.2: Deflandrea foliacea
Shell flat, broadly oval in outline, divided almost equally by a rather broad shallow girdle and narrowing towards a short blunt apical projection and one or occasionally two slight antapical prominences.

A pylome has not bee observed. Shell-membrane thin, transparent, wall of capsule slightly granular.
Dimensions: Type--57 µm long, 48 µm broad. Range--53-67 µm long, 43-52 µm broad.
