. In particular, the hydrothecal rim was said to have “…10 regularly rounded teeth [cusps], the division between them extending deep into the hydrothecal wall.” Hydrothecal pedicels are wavy but not noticeably annulated. While gonothecae were described by Fraser, the character of the gonophores remains unknown. Uncertainty therefore exists about the generic assignment of the species.
