Raphe very slightly bent in the middle of the valve, proximal endings simple and apart, distal endings deflected in opposite directions. Axial area narrow, central area large, expanding laterally to form a stauros not reaching valve margin. Striae radiate, 20–22 in 10 µm in the middle. Areole more distant near valve margin.
