- Diagnosis
- Small to medium (3–10 μm) species of Isolithus composed of three rays. The optical axes of two of the rays have very low birefringence, whereas the third ray has high birefringence. The third ray is narrower than the other two and can be reduced to very small dimensions, appearing as a bright spot on top of the nannolith.
