Conspicuous posterodorsal angle. Posterior margin straight to slightly curving inward; ventral margin broadly but unevenly rounded. Anterior margin evenly rounded. Very prominent heterosulcoid-type sulcus. Ostium filled with colliculum, moderately narrow, covers about 35% of length of inner face. Anterior of ostium even with anterior margin of sagitta. Dorsal and ventral margins of ostium essentially parallel anteriorly, but arch outwardly in posterior portion. Posterior margin of ostium nearly vertical. Cauda very long and narrow, has horizontal portion and sharply downturned portion. Horizontal portion of cauda significantly shorter than downturned portion, less excavated. Downturned portion of cauda more excavated, significantly longer, wider. Angle of horizontal and downturned portions around 90-degrees. Downturned portion almost reaches ventral margin. Outer face usually slightly concave, sculptured.
