Material examined. None. Description. (from McKnight, 2006). Body pentagonal, R/r=1.57. Interradial arcs weakly curved with arms tapering. Larger abactinal plates round to ovoid. Secondary plates angular, present proximal on disk and flanking inner end of carinal series. Carinal series ovoid, wider than long. On either side of carinal row are three further regular series of rounded plates; interradial plates more variable in shape, decreasing in size towards contact with superomarginal series.

Plate surface with granules rounded, deciduous, often slightly flattened and weakly slightly spaced apart. Peripheral granules equal in size to those on the plate center.
