Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
D. Williams and F. E. Round 1986Valves elongate, with a slightly expanded portion at the centre and slightly capitate to rounded poles. Sternum conspicuous and well developed. Areolation of evenly spaced, uniseriate rows continuing down the valve mantle; areolae occluded by cribra on the outer surface. Apical pore fields extend onto the valve face and consist of elongate pores, separated laterally by long bars; there are intermittently spaced shorter cross-pieces which link the bars. A rimoportula is situated adjacent to the apical pore-field. Girdle of up to six bands, all incomplete and ligulate. Each band has two separate rows of areolation, one on the pars interior and one on the pars exterior; each pore is closed by a cribrum. There is no distinction between bands except for a decrease in width in the abvalvar direction. The valvocopula is identical to the other bands except that the pars interior has a simple lip to attach to the valve.
