Description. The carapace has a sub-reniform shape in lateral view and has its greatest width slightly behind mid-length. The dorsal margin is arch-shaped whereas the ventral margin shows a more or less pronounced concavity. Both anterior-and posterior are broadly rounded. Dimension: L = 0,46 – 0,93 mm, H = 0,26 – 0,51 mm, the minimum sizes include juveniles too.

Chronostratigraphical and geographical distribution. The species is known from Pannonian strata of Serbia, appearing in the Hemicytheria tenuistriata zone ( Krstić, 1985).

Ecology. Representatives of this genus prefer littoral lakes, small permanent-and temporary waters with a maximum salinity of 5 ‰ (oligohaline; Meisch, 2000).
