Original Description

Shell ellipsoidal, one and one-third times as long as broad, with smooth surface. Network regular, with circular meshes four times as broad as the bars. Two polar spines three-sided pyramidal, half as long as the shell, as thick at the base as a single mesh. Four inner radial beams (lying, two in the major and two in the minor axis of the ellipsoid) very thin, at the central free ends knob-like, thickened. The distance between two opposite beams equals one-third of the minor axis, and indicates probably the diameter of the lost spherical medullary shell. (Three perfect and complete specimens of the same size and shape were observed.)

Size:
Major axis of the ellipsoid 140µm; pores 12µm, bars 3µm; length of the polar spines 70µm, basal breadth 12µm. (Diameter of the lost medullary shell 30µm ?)

Extra details from original publication
Habitat: South Atlantic, Station 338, depth 1990 fathoms.
