Original Description
Cortical shell spherical, covered with simple, very numerous (two hundred to three hundred) bristle-shaped radial spines, longer than the diameter of the shell. Spiral turnings double, both of the same breadth, gradually increasing with the growth of the shell and several times surpassing the diameter of the simple spherical medullary shell. (Pl. 49, fig. 2, exhibits only the first convolutions in the centre of the shell.)

Diameter of the cortical shell (with four spiral convolutions) 0.18; diameter of the medullary shell 0.02.

Editors' Notes
Haeckel listed Lithelius solaris under the subgeneric name Drymospira, but did not include the subgeneric name in the species name.

Stratigraphic information for LM21 from Riedel, 1959, p.287.
