Original description: Klumpp 1953, p. 389 (same as for genus)
The shell is almost round, divided by a girdle-like zone into two separate halves. The lower consists of six plates with inflated processes, between which in the middle there is an opening. The upper part carries four humped plates adjacent to the girdle and one field with thin spines as on girdle. A smaller plate with a hollow process, longer than the bags [i.e., bag-like inflated processes], forms the apical field.
Dimensions: Diameter 40 Ám, length of broad processes 24-28 Ám, apical process40 Ám, length of slender processes 20-24 Ám. Variation: All specimens present the same diameter, length of broad processes 20-28 Ám, length of slender processes 16-24 Ám.
