Original Description

Polycystinum compositum ex Spyridinis. Testula silicea cellulosa laevis aut aspera non appendiculata, transverse biarticulata (constricta), nucleo interno medio sub strictora insignis.
His formis septum longitudinale Dictyospyridum deficit, quae formae valde affines sunt. Haliommatis constricti nomine olim fossiles formas admodum similes designavi.

Translation:
Composite polycystin of the Spyridinae. Siliceous, porous test, smooth or rough, with no appendages, and transversely constricted to form 2 segments, with internal median nucleus below the stricture.
These forms lack the longitudinal septum of Dictyospyris, to which they are closely related. Formerly I assigned the name Haliomma constricta to very similar fossil forms. (Translated from Latin by E.M.R. and W.R.R.)]

Etymology:
From the Greek omma = eye and spyris = fish basket
