Septa perforated along the inner margin, otherwise mostly compact, joined by two to three rows of synapticulae, fusing towards the fossa. Septa ornamentation composed of paddle-shaped granules. Columella developed, formed by multiple processes perpendicular to the septal plane. Costae continuous between adjacent calices, unequal to sub-equal.
