Diagnosis

Large square basal ring with concave sides. Apical ring square, connected to basal ring in the places of maximum constriction and with sides parallel with the major and minor axes of skeleton. Basal spines are long and of equal length. The concavity of the basal ring and equal basal spines resulted in four symmetry planes. Sustaining spines very short and always on the right of lateral bars.
