Limnetic species with transparent or translucent, dichotomously branched stalk. Zooids elongate, bell-shaped, measuring 220 × 140 μm in vivo on average, with thick peristomial lip that is invariably reflected aborally. One contractile vacuole located on dorsal wall of infundibulum. Macronucleus C-shaped and transversely oriented. More than 137 transverse silverlines between oral area and aboral ciliary wreath, on average 77 between aboral ciliary wreath and scopula. Haplokinety and polykinety make one and one-quarter turns on peristome; terminal ends of kineties of infundibular polykinety 2 terminate adstomally at different levels within infundibulum.
