DESCRIPTION

Bifoliate (frondose) colony starting from encrusting sheets. Fronds 0.70-1.30 mm in thickness. Encrusting sheets 0.66- 1.31 mm thick. Secondary overgrowths occurring. Autozooecia budding from mesotheca, having angular shape of transverse section in endozone. Autozooecial apertures angular with rounded corners. Mesotheca 0.01-0.02 mm in thickness. Basal diaphragms common both in endozone and exozone, straight, or inclined. Mesozooecia abundant, 3-8 surrounding each autozooecial aperture, containing densely spaced diaphragms. Aktinotostyles moderately large, abundant, 5-7 surrounding each autozooecial aperture, originating in the outer exozone. Autozooecial walls granular, 0.010 -0.015 mm thick, irregularly undulating in endozones; laminated, integrated with dark median lining, showing reversal V-shaped lamination, without cingulum, 0.02-0.05 mm thick in exozones. Maculae not observed.
