Description. Very small sized carapace, short and high when seen laterally, ovate in dorsal view. Maximum length at 1/2 of height, maximum height at 1/2 of length, and maximum width at mid-length. LV larger than RV; LV overlapping RV along all margins. Posterior end broadly rounded, anterior end roundly pointed; both anterior and posterior margins equicurvate. Dorsal margin arched and gently slopes towards both anterior and posterior margins. Ventral margin convex. Surface with very shallow pits.
