Sarjeant, 1985:

Description:
Proximochorate to chorate, skolochorate cysts, of spheroidal to ovoidal or subpolygonal ambitus. Distinct apical and antapical processes are
present, of variable absolute and relative length; these are surrounded by fibrous processes. The precingular and postcingular processes bend
towards the cingulum, their tips linked by short trabeculae or fusing to form an equatorial tunnel round the cyst, though this may be interrupted
at the sulcus. Paratabulation 4`, 6", ?0c, 6-?7", ?1p, 1````. Archaeopyle single-plate precingular, type P, formed by loss of paraplate 3``.
