Original description: Cephalic cavity, together with the "pocket" below the lateral bars, almost circular in outline, covered by very delicate lattice-plates with pores re-sembling an irregular network rather than circular. Chambered zone narrow, dense, peripherally thorny, and similar in structure around the entire periphery. Sagittal ring high and delicate, at its upper end con-nected to the inner margin of the spongy zone by paired sagittal ring bars which are generally shorter than in P. intermedia.
