Catalog entries: Prunopyle titan

Original description: Shell generally ovate, large, with distinct osculum; egg-shaped shell stoutly proportioned (1.5-1.6 times its maximum diameter in length), with evenly contoured walls which round off at unmodified apical end and which end antapically at extended osculum; osculum subtubular, very short (less that, 0.1 total length in length and 0.2 greatest diameter in diameter), with about 16 projecting, slightly incurved spines around its margin and acting as stays; wall fairly thick; surface smooth; pores of shell very closely set, small (less than 4.4µm), circular, at inner ends of tubules connecting with surface, tubules mostly directed apically, pores on osculum similar but set farther apart, and not deep-set.
