Original Description

Orosphaerida with a simple, polyhedral or subspherical lattice-shell, a,d with numerous pyramidal elevations on its surface, the top of which bears a radial spine.

Etymology:
From the Greek oroscena = shell with tent-shaped elevations

Extra details from original publication
The genus Oroscena doffers from the preceding Orosphaera in the possession of numerous pyramidal or tent-shaped elevations, each of which bears on its top a radial spine. It exhibits therefore the same relation to the latter than Sagoscena does to Sagosphaera and Auloscena to Aulosphaera. The bases of the radial spines are usually connected by prominent concave crests, the edges of the pyramids. The species described of Oroscena seem to be very variable and transformistic.
[Description: Haeckel here includes the Orosphaerida amoung the Phaeodaria; however, according to Haecker, 1906, p.888 and later authors, the Orosphaerida are included in the Spumellaria.]
