Diagnosis Small to medium sized shell with the architectural style of Rotalispira. Chambers are low trochospirally arranged and gradually increase in size. Rounded periphery. Dorsal side almost flat and ornamented. Ventral side plano-concave. Dimorphism not observed. The new species has at least 3 spiral whorls with 10 chambers in the last whorl. Septa, slightly curved, thicken at their base. Each folium produces a more or less sharp foliar pile in axial direction. Proloculus sizes between 40 mm and 60 mm. Chamber height is almost double its width. The D/H ratio varies from 1.8 to 2.2. The calibre of the coarse pores is 15-20 mm. [details]
