Zooids well separated, each connecting with others by six narrow tubular extensions, the distance between opesiae greater than half the opesial width. Five short, thin spines around distalmost curvature and four slightly longer spines more proximally along each lateral margin; spines erect or angled outward, not obscuring opesia. Pedunculate avicularia single or paired lateral to orifice, with a bulbous chamber and narrow, laterally compressed rostrum; avicularium length greater than twice avicularium width.
