The large shell (250–300 μm) is spherical to elliptical and sometimes has small thorns. The large pores are surrounded by pentagonal and hexagonal frames. Some pores appear to be subdivided into smaller pores by internal bar networks. The single spiral has up to 10, occasionally even more, closely spaced whorls. The levels of the whorls are connected by aligned beams, forming a characteristic radial pattern of dark bands (the beams) and white stripes (pore regions) when viewed in trans- mitted light. The meshwork of bars and beams can, in some of the intermediate spirals, create hub and spoke types of lattice- work, with a radial beam as the hub and triangular pores (apices directed inward) surrounding it. In the centre of the shell often a spongy mass can be seen which obscures the innermost whorls, although this is less well developed than in L. h. ‘irregularis’. A pylome is weak or absent, although many specimens have a few external spines, and often one rather stout spine with a flat tip extending from the pylome region. Remarks. L. h. ‘hayesi’ is close to L. h. ‘irregularis’, but can be distinguished by its more strongly developed pore alignment (white-striped appearance) and more spherical shape, somewhat larger size, larger pores on the cortical shell and less spongy centre.
