From a carinate basis (with an elliptical cross profile) extends a massive solid hook-like denticle followed by smaller ones. The denticles’ length is about ¼ of the hook and they are conical, unpointed and usually sloping posteriorly. The inner margin – denticulated – is separated by a shallow depression from the posterior part of the base. At one third of the posterior part of the outer margin is a mould representing a transition to a spur. A more distinct spur is a typical character of MII of the genus Arabellites . Length 1.8 mm.
