Description
Encrusting. Zooecia very delicate, shallow, in not very distinct longitudinal lines, separated by grooves, the gymnocyst wanting or small. Frontal membrane oval, 2 small spines, one on each side of the orifice, at the proximal corners of the ovicells in fertile zooecia. Cryptocyst narrow. Avicularia at the proximal end of a kenozooecium, the rostrum assymetrical, considerably curved and denticulate at the frontal edge. Mandible triangular proximally, acicular distally. Ovicell hyperstomial, prominent, globose, its surface frosted, usually with a slight mucro in the middle line of the oral arch; not closed by the operculum.
