Original Description

Spongurida with an ellipsoidal or cylindrical spongy shell, containing an internal cavity, without a latticed medullary shell. Polar spines absent.

Editors' Notes
The genus Spongellipsis embraces those very simple Spongurida in which the ellipsoidal central capsule is enclosed in a spongy cortical shell of the same form. It corresponds, therefore, to Plegmosphaera among the Sphæroidea, to Plegmodiscus among the Discoidea, and to Spongolarcus among the Larcoidea. In some species the ellipsoidal form is prolonged and passes into a cylindrical one.
