Taxonomic rank: sub-species
Basionym: Theocorys dianae Haeckel 1887
Taxonomic discussion:

(Haeckel) 1887; Nigrini 1967;


Catalog entries: Theocorys dianae

Original description: Shell almost ovate, with two deep strictures. Length of the three joints = 3: 6: 8, breadth = 3: 9: 8. Cephalis subspherical, with a slender, pyramidal horn of three times the length. Thorax conical, constricted at the base. Abdomen bottle-shaped. Pores in the thorax irregular, polygonal, in the abdomen subregular, circular, quincuncially disposed.

Length of the three joints, a 30, b 60, c 80µm; breadth, a 30, b 90, c 80µm.
Remarks on original description: Haeckel listed Theocorys dianae under the subgeneric name Theocorythium, but did not include the subgeneric name the species name.
