Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
H. Kozur and W. Sadeddin 1990Central pore very large, partly closed on the lower side by a lattice with small pores. Elevated ring structure around the central pore distinct. Pores outside the ring structure small, in the arms altematingly biserially arranged. Outer margin of the sieve-plates elevated both on the upper and lower side of the sclerites. Stirrup and spine prominent. The feet of the big stirrup are basally bifurcated. One branch of the feet reaches to the base of the arms, the other one to the inner margin of the elevated brim between the arms. The spine is broad, robust, 4-edged and perforate in the furrows between the edges. The arms are long to moderately long and bear 6-8 pores. Between the 4 arms the outer margin has more or less distinct lobes opposite to the second branch of each bifurcated foot.
