Catalog entries: Astrosphaera hexagonalis

Original description: Inner shell with regular, hexagonal meshes and very thin bars, having a bristle-shaped, short radial by-spine in each hexagon-corner; outer shell twice as broad, with simple triangular meshes and thicker bars, bearing one row of simple bristle-shaped, curved, radial by-spines. Radial main spines with three smooth edges.

Diameter of the outer shell 320µm, inner 160µm.
