Original Description

Sethopilida (vel Dicyrtida triradiata aperta) with three free lateral wings, or solid spines arising from the sides of the thorax. No terminal feet. Cephalis with one or more horns.

The genus Spongomelissa differs from its ancestral genus Lithomelissa only in the development of spongy framework in the shell-wall - a very rare production in the Cyrtoidea (compare Peripyramis, p. 1162, and Spongocyrtis, p. 1188).

Etymology:
Greek spongomelissa = spongy bee"
