- Diagnosis
- Monad, isopolar, radiosymmetric, tri- and occasionally tetracolporate
(syncolporate), colpi long, straight, narrow, meeting at
the poles, pores not seen but presumed to be elliptical and transverse; oblate, amb straight-sided to weakly concave with pointed to subround
apices; exine b1 μm thick, columellae not visible, ±psilate to
granulate or scabrate, 9–17 μm in maximum polar view. The equatorial
diameter ranges from 9–17 μm
