Taxon description

Bromley & D'Alessandro, 1984

Diagnosis: Camerate entobian in juvenile phases, non camerate in mature phases. Network of sublinear cylindrical chambers, later fusing to galleries, organized in an irregular maze of a single tier, anastomosed and branched at wide angles to a right angle. Surface ornamented with hemispherical tubercles, each bearing a long terminal apophysis, or by a cluster of partially fused tubercles. Phase C well developed, phase D absent. Phase E represented by wide, shallow, surface grooves, the ornamentation locally lost. Apertures extremely variable, in two sizes; a few relatively large and wide, sparsely distributed; among these, minute apertures of much smaller size.
