Original Description Pores of the shell regular, circular, with prominent hexagonal frame, twice as broad as the bars; twenty-two to twenty-four pores of the half meridian, fourteen to fifteen on the half equator. Surface a little thorny. (The shell of this species exhibits nearly the same formation as that of Cyphonium virgineum, Pl.39, fig.12, but without enclosed medullary shells.) Size: Main axis of the shell 0.15, equatorial axis 0.09; meshes 0.01, bars 0.005. Editors' Notes There was no illustration of this species in Haeckel (1887) Haeckel listed Artiscus facetus under the subgeneric name Artiscium, but did not include the subgeneric name in the species name.[comment from RadWorld database]
