Ventral margin is straight, becoming slightly concave in the smallest specimens. Dorsal margins are distinctly biundulate, with two rounded crests. Apices are slightly protracted, sub-capitate to capitate on the dorsal margin and straight on the ventral margin. Helictoglossae are distinct and positioned on the valve face at the ventral margin.
