A species of Fromea whith is flask-shaped. The lower portion is semi-circular in lateral view and the upper portion tapers to a flat apex. One side of the aflask" has folds in the form of a square with one corner of this square pointing towards the apex. Sometimes, a ragged-edged hole is apparent in the central area of the square. A circular pylome is present at the apex.
Observed Dimensions: Holotype 96x90 µm. Overall 111(91)81x90(80)68 µm.

Affinities:
Duxbury, 1980, p. 134: The general outline of the body together with the square of folds on one side separate this species from all others of the genus.
