Original Description
Outer shell thin walled, thorny, with regular network; pores circular, simple, small, two to three times as broad as the thin bars; eighteen to twenty-four on the half equator. Proportion of the major axis to the minor = 4: 3. Inner shell ellipsoidal, half as large as the outer. Polar spines cylindrical, blunt, thin, very variable in length (one-fourth to three-fourths of the major axis, not thicker than a mesh).
Longer axis of the ellipsoid 0.07 to 0.09, shorter axis 0.05 to 0.07; pores 0.005 to 0.006, bars 0.002; length of the polar spines 0.02 to 0.06, basal breadth 0.004; length of the inner shell 0.04, breadth 0.03.
