Deutomerite up to eight times as long as the protomerite and 

 one and a half times as broad, broadest sHghtly behind the 

 septum, and in full-grown individuals gracefuUy tapering 

 towards the posterior end. Nucleus spherical. Gametocyst 

 spherical, dehiscing by simple rupture to release spindle-shaped 

 sporocysts.
