Catalog entries: Carposphaera capillacea

Original description: Cortical shell very delicate, four times as broad as the similarly constructed medullary shell, with regular hexagonal meshes (twenty to twenty-five on the quadrant) and very thin thread-like bars. Both shells connected by twenty (?) very thin radial beams. (Similar to Heliosoma radians, Pl. 28, fig. 3, 3a, but with smooth surface, without any radial spines.)

Diameter of the outer shell 0.2, inner 0.05, pores 0.01, bars below 0.001. [dimensions in mm]
Remarks on original description: Haeckel listed Carposphaera capillacea under the subgeneric name Melittosphaera, but did not include the subgeneric name in the species name.
