Diagnosis: An elongate ovoidal proximate cyst. Epitract longer and more tapering than hypotract. Endophragm densely granular. Periphragm relatively delicate, finely perforate, usually extensively folded and enclosing the inner body loosely. The cingulum is reflected in a high undulating periphragm fold. A second high periphragm fold runs from the reflected cingulum to the antapex. No tabulation is apparent exept along the margin of the apical archeopyle.
