Original Description

Eight divergent columellae, about as long as the diameter of the octagonal mitral ring, connect it with the larger circular basal ring, and bear at each end a divergent, strong, conical spine. Lattice-plate of both rings slightly convex, with numerous subregular circular pores, smooth, without surface spines.

Breadth of the mitral ring 0.06, of the basal ring 0.09. [dimensions in mm]

Editors' Notes
It is clear from the family discussion ofTympanida (pp.987-990) that Haeckel meant to assign the following key to the letters in the above illustration; s = horizontal basal ring; m = horizontal mitral ring
