| The group was initially characterized by small and globular taxa with a muricate funnel-pore wall texture. |
| Microspores in both species are fundamentally echinate, but in L weberi the echinae are broader, more columnar and distally muricate. |
| Resembles Lophocolea muricata in being muricate, but the leaves of that species are bidentate with a sinus, whereas these have an apical spine. |
| For example, a specimen-dependent character such as the pustules of the muricate texture ranks first from the ninth harmonic. |
| When dried, the emergences are sometimes difficult to see, resembling flattened, near-hyaline scales or giving the calyx wall a muricate or roughened appearance. |
