Original Description

Stephanida with a simple dipleuric or bilateral ring, bearing at the base three divergent feet (one odd caudal and two paired lateral feet).

The genus Cortina and the following Stephanium represent together the small but very important group of Cortinida, differing from the simple Lithocircida in the possession of three typical basal feet, which are transmitted to the majority of the Nassellaria by heredity, and produce their peculiar triradial structure. They appear therefore as a combination of the simple ring (Zygocircus) with three basal feet (Plagonium). One of these three divergent feet is the odd caudal foot, opposite to the apical horn; the two others are the paired lateral or pectoral feet. (On the probable origin and the typical signification of Cortina compare above, pp.891-894.)

Etymology:
From the Greek cortina = tripod"
