Original Description

Shell globular, with 2 opposite, similar polar spines, these spines very short (only 0.43 diameter of cortical shell in length), generally conical in outline (25°), with sharply pointed free tip, circular section, and simple base; cortical shell thick-walled and very prominent with reference to the short spines and with a smooth surface; medullary shell globular, small (approximately 0.3 diameter of cortical shell), with rather thin polygonal framework and having few fairly thin prismatic radial beams (probably not a dozen); pores of cortical shell similarly everywhere circular and of nearly the same size, relatively few (about 10 across a diameter), and rather deeply set; pores of medullary shell large and few; framework of cortical shell raised, thick, and polygonal but without strong sepaloid points so that the surface is not modified.

Size:
Length of polar spines not exceeding 50µm; diameter of cortical shell 120µm of medullary shell 40.8µm of cortical pores, 8.8µm; thickness of wall 10µm.

Etymology:
No information given

Extra details from original publication
Distinguishing features: Stylosphaera losbanosensis n. sp. has very short, thick polar spines and a comparatively large shell, which characters set it apart from other species, but it must be differentiated with a little care from minor brevihastata n. subsp. which has longer spi
