Horn triradiate proximally with three massive ridges alternating with three narrow grooves, circular in axial section distally Cephalis imperforate, covered with layer of microgranular silica. Thorax subspherical in outline, comprised of slightly variable size of polygonal pore frames. Pore frames with circular to elliptical pores. Four feet extending out from distal portion of thorax. Feet thin, medium in length, tapering distally, triradiate with three narrow ridges alternating with three moderately wide grooves. Thorax terminating in small circular aperture.
