Description. The carapace has a rhomboidal shape in lateral view and is covered with a coarse reticulation pattern that consists of polygonal meshes. Randomly distributed large and high pore-conuli are present as well as the distinguishable eye-spot in the anterodorsal corner. The dorsal margin is straight and is smoothly and broadly rounding onto the anterior and posterior ends. The ventral margin is arcuate and the posterior end is noticeable narrower than the anterior end. The preservation of this species in most cases is poor and has only been rarely observed. Dimension: L = 0,46 – 0,64 mm, H = 0,24 – 0,39 mm, the minimum sizes include juveniles too.

Remarks. The species has only been rarely observed in the succession and poorly preserved.
