Operculum (o) well developed, bilobed, with 10 setae (5+5) seate, mesal 1+1 setae longest. Bursa (b) with wide lip, anteriorly covering much of bursa. Valves asymmetric but comparable in size, with 10 setae on mesal and seven setae on lateral valve. Posteriorly with a ear-like lateral lobe. Note. As already mentioned, Antić et al.
