Original Description
Inner shell with regular, hexagonal meshes, six times as broad as the bars, each bar crossed by a transverse tangential rod, so that each mesh represents an elegant six-rayed star (as in Astrosphaera stellata, Pl. 19, fig. 5, but without radial by-spines); outer shell twice as broad, with simple triangular meshes. Radial spines with serrated edges and three rows of simple lateral branches (four branches on each edge).
Diameter of the outer shell 0.44, inner 0.22.
