Original Description

Sethophormida (vel Dicyrtida multiradiata aperta) with numerous straight or slightly curved radial ribs in the wall of the pyramidal thorax. Network spongy. Cephalis commonly without horn.

The genus Spongopyramis has arisen from Sethopyramis by development of an irregular spongy framework around the lattice-shell, and is one of the small number of Cyrtoidea in which the shell-wall exhibits a spongy structure. In both observed species the cephalis is small, but evident.

Etymology:
Greek spongopyramis = spongy pyramid"
