Original Description
Semantida with three typical basal feet (an odd caudal foot and two paired lateral or pectoral feet).
The genus Cortiniscus is of peculiar importance, as the common ancestral form of the Cortiniscida, or those Semantida in which the basal ring is provided with typical, regularly disposed basal feet-three, four, or six. Since these typical basal feet (or ""cortinar feet"") are preserved in the greater number of all Nassellaria, determining their triradial structure, they possess a great morphological value. Cortiniscus exhibits the same three primary feet as Cortina, from which it differs in the production of two or more basal pores (between the odd caudal and the paired lateral feet).
Etymology: From the Greek cortiniscus = small cortina or tripod"
