Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
C. G. Barras 2007Stem group Atelostomata with an adjunct apical disc. The disc contains no more than six complemental plates and oculars II and IValways share a direct contact. The genus retains the primitive characters of a vertically sided periproctal groove (Pl. 1, fig. 4a), oral pore pairs crowded into phyllodes (Fig. 10B) and a peristomial well (Pl. 1, fig. 4c).
