Taxon description

Nõlvak, 2007a

The vesicle is cylindrical, with straight to slightly convex flanks and tapers towards the aperture. Shoulders and flexure are absent or very weakly developed and the neck, if present, is about 1/3 of the total length of the vesicle. The maximum width is just above the rounded aboral margin. The ridges, sometimes anastomosing, are well developed longitudinally over the whole vesicle. However, the inner surface of the vesicle wall is glabrous. The convex base, provided with a pronounced copula, has also a weak ornamentation.
