Taxonomy

Citation: Phormacantha Jørgensen 1905
Taxonomic rank: genus
Basionym: Phormacantha
Type species: Peridium hystrix Jørgensen 1900
Taxonomic discussion: Recent. [rather minimal development of cephalic lattice wall but Jörgensen considered this to be closely related to Plectacantha, which is in the Lophophaenidae-dbl]

Catalog entries: Phormacantha

Original description: Has the same four primary spines and the same three primary arches as Plectacantha. There is, however, also a ventral, sagittal spine, which is less strongly developed than the others (""der secundäre Mittelstachel Jørgensen, 1900, p. 77). The network, as in Plectacantha, is at a late stage and only imperfectly closed beneath.
