Medium-sized elongated carapace, flattened and biconvex in dorsal view. Overlap of the larger LV over the RV along the whole outline. Hmax slightly anterior; Lmax slightly ventral; Wmax slightly anterior. Dorsal margin convex. Ventral margin very slightly convex. Anterior and posterior margins well rounded. Surface smooth.
Discussion.
General morphology of this single badly preserved specimen could also remind of the
Bairdiocypris
genus.
