Minor septa absent to poorly developed. Columella absent to weakly devel-oped. Dissepimentarium composed of 1 to 2 rows of mostly large inflated dissepiments. Axial tabulae flat to flattened tent-shaped, spaced 2 in 1 mm. Peripheral tabellae absent to poorly developed. Ratio of tabularium width to corallite diameter about 0.6. Increase is peripheral.
