Original Description
Panartida with simple cortical shell and double medullary shell, with two opposite apical spines on both poles of the main axis, or with a group of polar spines.
Etymology: From the Greek panicium = a kind of bread"
Extra details from original publication
The genus Panicium comprises those forms of Panartus which develop a peculiar armature on both poles of the cortical shell. This may be only a single strong spine on each pole, lying in the main axis (subgenus Panicidium); or a bunch or a circle of polar spines diverging radially (subgenus Panartidium); in the latter case the polar spines can either form a bunch on the pole itself, or a crown of thorns around it.
