Original Description Shell slender, nearly spindle-shaped, three times as long as broad, without external strictures, but with ten to eleven internal septa. The five or six upper of these are perfectly separate, complete parallel rings; the five or six lower are spirally connected. The eleven or twelve joints gradually taper in length and breadth, from the broadest middle towards the two constricted ends of the shell. The middle (fifth or sixth) joint is the broadest, and is three to four times as broad as the constricted mouth. Cephalis small, hemispherical, with a conical horn of the same length. Pores regular, circular, hexagonally framed. Size: Length of the shell (with twelve joints) 0.25, breadth 0.09; length of the middle joint 0.03 Editors' Notes There was no illustration of this species in Haeckel (1887) Haeckel listed Spirocyrtis hemispira under the subgeneric name Spirocyrtoma, but did not include the subgeneric name in the species name.[comment from RadWorld database]
