Disk with smooth surface, four times as broad as the medullary shell. Pores irregular, roundish; ten to twelve on the radius. Marginal spines ten to fifteen, pyramidal, angular, very irregular and variable in size and distribution, the largest nearly as long as the diameter of the disk, as broad at the base as the radius of the medullary shell.

Diameter of the disk 0.15 to 0.2, of the medullary shell 0.04 to 0.05; length of the radial spines 0.06 to 0.18, basal breadth 0.02 to 0.03. [dimensions in mm]

Editors' Notes
Haeckel listed Heliodiscus polymorphus under the subgeneric name Heliodiscetta, but did not include the subgeneric name in the species name.
