Sexual condition autoicous. Sporophytes exerted. Seta 0.9-1.1 cm. Capsule stegocarpic, not systylius, cylindric, erect and nearly straight, urn 2-2.7 mm; peristome 1000-1400 µm, teeth of 32 filaments, twisted once, basal membrane ca. 200 µm; operculum 1.1-1.5 mm. Spores 11-14 µm, spheric, essentially smooth.
