Original Description Radial proportion of the four spheres = 1: 2: 4: 5. Outer cortical shell thick walled, densely covered with innumerable bristle-shaped radial spines, half as long as the radius. Pores regular, circular, double-edged, of the same breadth as the bars; ten to twelve on the radius. The thick outer shell is so dark, that the outlines only of the other three shells can be seen. Size: Diameter of the four shells - (A) outer cortical shell 0.2, (B) inner cortical shell 0.16, (C) outer medullary shell 0.08, (D) inner medullary shell 0.04; pores and bars of the outer shell 0.008; length of the spines 0.04. Editors' Notes Haeckel listed Cromyomma villosum under the subgeneric name Cromyommetta, but did not include the subgeneric name in the species name.[comment from RadWorld database]
