Valves are linear-lanceolate. The central area is strongly asymmetric; wedge-shaped on the primary side and semi-lunate on the secondary side. Striae are radiate in the central part of the valve and parallel near the apices. Striae are 9-10 in 10 µm. Proximal raphe ends are deflected toward the primary side.
