Original description: Cortical twin shell spiny, slightly constricted equatorially, with subcircular to subangular pores having no definite arrangement; pores variable in size, tending to be smaller equatorially. Poles of twin shell not closed by a definite lattice, always spiny. In some specimens these spines support an irregular, usually incomplete, spongy meshwork. When complete, this meshwork forms an ellipsoidal shell around the cortical shell. Polar caps have not been observed.
Outer medullary shell ellipsoidal, connected to an inner, spherical medullary shell by radial beams; numerous radial beams also connect outer medullary shell to cortical twin shell at the equatorial constriction.

Length of cortical twin shell 118-1 84µm. Maximum breadth of cortical twin shell 63-99µm,
Remarks on original description: Rare in samples from along the coast of Central and South America; absent from all other samples examined (text-figure 4).
