Original Description
Shell equally dipleuric, hemispherical, with eight relatively long, slender, straight, divergent, twiglike feet; tips minutely blunted, sides with very small scattered thorns; shell divided vertically into two equal lobes by a moderately deep, sagittal, narrow stricture or groove, the lobes (only slightly) separated, the surface with large, oval, or circular, gatelike pores, seven visible on one side of one lobe, those of the two sides similar, a small pore near the sagittal ring and above the apertural margin flanked by a larger one, a larger median one flanked by two, the middle one smaller than its distal-lateral mate, and a pair of roofing pores on one side of each lobe, the framework of thick, rounded bars, these hyaline, with short spines, especially on the coryphal face and sides, one very small, triangular, submedian pore on the depressed great-circle, and a tiny round one below it; aperture simple.
Length of foot, 78.2µm (tip broken); of shell, 76.0µm; diameter of longest median gate-pore, 25.4µm; of breadth of shell, 98.0µm. Distinguishing characters (rw): Gorgospyris cystophora cystophora n. subsp. differs from G. cystophora brevipes n. subsp. in having longer feet and in lacking numerous spines on the shall; the feet also lack the roughening but have thorns.
