Shell surface smooth or ornamented with growth lines and transverse lirae or striae; ventral sinus of ornament elements weakly developed. Siphuncle subcentral or central in position, septal necks orthochoanitic but sometimes cyrtochoanitic in the apical part (after Dzik 1984 and Kröger et al. 2007, emended).
