Sheng, 1984, p.291:
      "Diagnosis: Shell medium to large in size, involute, thickly lenticular or subglobose in shape.  Umbilicus rather narrow and deep with subangular shoulders and steep walls. Surface smooth or marked by a few faint wrinkles at the venter of the adoral part of living chamber and 3-4 rather wide and shallow constrictions on the outer whorl.
       Suture-line goniatitic.  The ventral lobe is wide, divided by a higher siphonal saddle into two rather wide and long lanceolate branches.  The outer saddle is subangular at top.  The lateral lobe is wide subtriangular in outline and short umbilical lobe on the wall.  The internal suture is unknown."

Phylogentic relationship uncertain. Genus may represent a link to Goniatitidae or may even belong to Goniatitoidea.
