Median lobes prominent, closely appressed mesally, notched 3 or 4 times laterally, with median basal zygosis much protruding anteriorly beyond their bases. 2nd lobes much reduced, yet somewhat variable in size; inner lobule with basal paraphyses rudimentary or practically obsolete. 3rd lobes reduced to marginal serrations (Takagi, 1965a).
