  1. Valves elliptic
  2. Central area large
  3. Areolae 24-28 in 10 µm
  4. Raphe lateral
  5. Apices bluntly rounded

Valves are moderately large, elliptic and somewhat dorsiventral, with bluntly rounded apices. The central area is large. The raphe is lateral, becoming filiform near the proximal and distal ends. Areolae in the striae are easily resolved in LM and number 24-28 in 10 µm.
