This taxon is characterized by the following combination of morphological traits (an asterisk indicates autapomorphic traits): a sub-cylindrical and anteriorly gradually tapering rostrum with extremely large internal canals and that are oval in cross-section in the most distal part; in having a concave ventral margin in the anterior two-thirds forming a pronounced ventral canal along the whole length of rostrum resulting in a cross-sectional shape reminiscent of a pig nose at 0.5
