Symmetry and Form
Monad, radial_symmetry, isopolar, 3-colpate (6%), 4-stephanocolpate (78%) and 5-stephanocolpate (16%), elliptic ( E > P & E < P ) to spheroidal in equatorial_view, (sub)circular tending to be angular in polar_view
Dimensions
Polar_Axis = 45-71 µm; Equatorial_Axis = 42-71 µm
Apertures
Three, four to five colpi (stephano-colpi); Colpus elliptic, colpus apex acute, distance between the adjacent colpal apices 20-34 µm, colpus border or margo a wavy line of thinning, aperture_membrane with verrucoid proceses bearing spinules (h=0.5 µm) or pyramidiform spinuloid sculptures (SEM), in Vasanthy, G. & Pocock, S.A.J. (1992), operculoid, costae_colpi absent
Exine
Tectate, microperforate tectum (SEM) bearing spinules (h=±1.0 µm); endosculptured ?; exine thickness at the mid-point of the intercolpium ±3.0 µm (excl. sculpture), endosculpture present
Remark
A stenopalynous genus [see Lobreau-Callen, D. (1977)]
