Diagnosis

Alete bisaccate pollen grain; outline usually haploxylonoid. Corpus finely infrareticulate, circular to elliptical with the transverse axis greater than the longitudinal axis. Sacci crescent-shaped, more coarsely infrareticulate than the corpus, proximally attached near the equator, slightly distally pendent. No sharp delineation of saccus bases; sacci occasionally connected by a thin equatorial strip of exine. Distal germinal aperture is a leptoma which is indistinctly defined but possesses a thinner exine than the remainder of the corpus. Dimensions: Equatorial diameter (25 specimens) overall 43-56 um, corpus 20-26 um.
