Description(s)

Wisshak et al., 2017b:

Diagnosis: Three-dimensional network of sub-spherical chambers, polygonal where most crowded, only rarely fused, connected by numerous short and slender, cylindrical intercameral canals. Apertural canals short, leading either to small circular surface apertures or to distinctly larger and irregular apertures or clusters of smaller openings on substrate surface, resembling grated orifices.
