Original Diagnosis

« Large, thick cylindroporelliform segments, agreeing in internal structure with those of Cylindroporella barnesii, but with greater diameter of central canal and sporangia and externally, and a greater distance between whorls; it is proportionally shorter and much thicker than the type species (see the table of comparative measurements below). » (ELLIOTT 1957).
