Original Description

Shell subovate, twice as long as broad, without external strictures, but with an internal regularly descending spiral septum, which separates seven to nine broad joints of nearly equal lengths; the first and second joints together are conical, and about as long as each of the following joints. Cephalis small, hemispherical, with a thick pyramidal horn of the same length. The fifth joint is the broadest, the truncate month is slightly constricted (in the specimen figured it is broken off). Pores regular, circular, quincuncial.

Size:
Length of the shell (with eight joints) 0.2, breadth 0.1; length of each joint, about 0.03.

Editors' Notes
Haeckel listed Spirocyrtis holospira under the subgeneric name Spirocyrtoma, but did not include the subgeneric name in the species name.[comment from RadWorld database]
