Original Description

Both proximal chambers kidney-shaped, both distal chambers nearly hemispherical, somewhat smaller. Pores irregular, polygonal, twice to five times as broad as the bars; six to eight on the half meridian, twelve to fourteen on the half equator of each chamber. Surface spiny, covered with thin, bristle-like spines. On both poles of the main axis a bunch of six to eight aggregated larger conical spines, about as high as a single chamber.

Size:
Main axis (without polar spines) 0.2, equatorial axis 0.06; pores 0.005 to 0.015, bars 0.003; length of the polar spines 0.05, basal thickness 0.005.

Editors' Notes
There was no illustration of this species in Haeckel (1887)
Haeckel listed Panicium scoparium under the subgeneric name Panartidium, but did not include the subgeneric name in the species name.[comment from RadWorld database]
