Vimines shorter than virgae and wide, restricted to the valve face / mantle junction; additional ones rarely present on valve mantle (Fig. 4 B). Striae typically composed by two narrow, elliptic to trapezoid areolae, one on valve face and a slightly larger one on the valve mantle (Fig. 4 A, B, D, E). Volae arising from the areolar inner periphery and projecting inwards forming a tightly packed mesh-like structure (Fig. 4 B, C). Flaps frequently present in various stages of development, typically one disk-like or bilobate on valve face and two or more of different shape on valve mantle areola (Fig. 4 A, B, D-F). Spines originating from vimines at the valve face / mantle junction, solid, with elliptic to rectangular base, as wide as the vimines; conical body with a roughly triangular profile and serrate, pointy tips. Spines have a general arrowhead-like appearance when seen form their posterior ends. (Fig. 4 A-F).
