Catalog entries: Dictyophimus mawsoni

Original description: Shell large, of heavy construction, spiny, generally subhemispherical in form. Cephalis cap-like, with subcircular pores and short, acute, thorn-like spines scattered over its surface. Apical horn stout, cylindro-conical, vertical or oblique. Collar stricture indistinct. Thorax subhemispherical with large subcircular or subangular pores separated by heavy intervening bars from which arise numerous acute, conical spines. Three ribs, which in some specimens are not distinct, extend along the entire length of the thoracic wall and terminate in three sub-parallel or divergent, stout, cylindro-conical feet. At the collar region, three spines extend inward from the shell-wall, but do not connect with each other; these apparently represent all that remains of the reduced internal spicular skeleton.
Remarks on original description: Apart from its occurrence in the B.A.N.Z.A.R.E. sediments, D. mawsoni has been found in no other locality except the far northern Pacific. It is thus apparently a bipolar cold-water species.
