Original Description

Druppulida with simple ellipsoidal cortical shell and simple medullary shell, with two large opposite polar spines in the main axis of equal size and similar form.

Etymology:
From the Greek lithos = stone, and atractos = spindle of silex

Extra details from original publication
The genus Lithatractus, rich in common and widely distributed species, begins the series of those Druppulida which are characterised by peculiar polar spines at both poles of the main axis. It repeats the formation of Stylosphaera and Ellipsostylus, and differs from the former in the ellipsoidal form of the cortical shell, from the latter in the possession of a medullary shell. Formerly all these forms were united in the one genus Stylosphaera (see above, p. 121).
[Synonymized with Amphisphaera by Petrushevskaya, 1975c, p.570]
