Original description: Shell irregular roundish or nearly polyhedral, with a variable number of umbilical depressions, which are prolonged on the inside into cylindrical or somewhat conical, centripetal, fenestrated tubes, about one-third as long as the shell radius. Inner mouth of the tubes narrower, scarcely half as broad as the outer mouth, about equal to one-fourth the shell radius, truncated. Pores of the tubes and of the shell small, roundish, irregular in size and distribution, about as broad as the bars. Twenty-five to thirty pores in the half meridian of the shell. In all observed specimens the spherical central capsule (half as broad as the shell) contained a large number of crystals.

Diameter of the shell 100 to 120µm, of the pores 1 to 3µm, of the bars 2 to 3µm; length of the tubuli 20µm; outer mouth 26µm, inner mouth 13µm; crystals in the central capsule 2 to 4µm, sometimes 88µm.
Remarks on original description: see B. invaginata Haeckel in Hilmers, 1906, partim.
