Descriptions and remarks

Breton, 2011:

Diagnosis of the ichnospecies. Subcircular group of cylindrical borings, penetrating obliquely in the substratum after a subhorizontal course and transversely striated, centrifugally and radially arranged. All the surface of the central zone is hollowed out by the borings. The group is surrounded by a peripheral crown, made of one row of irregular plates separated by tiny radial grooves.
