7-8mm. The facies is as in bizonoides,
as are the processes to the saccular margin of the valves. The cornuti are
similarly proportioned to those of bizonoides but the larger two are more
regular, not flattened, the most basal strongly curved. The distal saccular
process has a crest of moderate, curved spines reflexed back round its margin.
