The lateral border is obsoletely crenulate, produced in the middle into an indistinct tooth, the anterior angles armed with an obtuse tooth, the hinder angles unarmed. The upper surface is transversely convex, flattened and transversely excavated behind the middle, deeply punctate. The middle of the disk is closely variolose and the medial line has an indistinct longitudinal groove.[2]
