Original Description

Tholonida with simple cortical shell (without external veil), with two hemispherical cupolas, opposite on the poles of one axis; central chamber (between them) Larnacilla-shaped, with medullary shell.

The genus Amphitholus is the most simple form of all Coccotholida (or all Tholonida provided with medullary shell). Its simple cortical shell exhibits, like Tholartus, two lateral hemispherical cupolas, attached on both sides of a lentelliptical central chamber (on the poles of its transverse axis). The central chamber has the form of a triaxial ellipsoid, and contains, like Larnacilla, a small medullary shell, connected with it by the wings of a latticed transverse girdle. Amphitholus may be derived either from Tholartus by secondary production of a cortical shell, or (more probably) from Larnacilla by apposition of two lateral dome-shaped protuberances. In the latter case it may be regarded as an Amphipyle, the lateral open wings of which are closed by lattice-work.

Etymology:
Greek amphitholus = shell with two opposite cupolas"
