Hypothallus with a silvery shine, red-brown by TL. Peridia on the outside of a group early evanescent except for the irregular plates which are not connected to the capillitium, smooth red-brown by TL, usually the margin of the peridial plate is thickened and often frays into fine threads. Columella usually present, rather degenerate, irregular in shape, often bent or split, sometimes united to each other at the base or higher up, hollow, red-brown. Capillitium connected to the columella if this is present, sometimes absent but usually present as a wide-meshed reticulum with enlarged axils and with free ends at the periphery, sometimes poorly developed and then falling away early.
