Original Description

Cephalis elongate, lobate, with a few small pores, surmounted by a stout three-bladed horn. Thorax inflated-campanulate, with regular circular pores. Thoracic wall pronouncedly plicate longitudinally, the plicae being separated by three to five longitudinal rows of pores. Abdomen subcylindrical, with a thinner wall than the thorax, and sub-circular to circular pores usually less regularly arranged than in the thorax. In most specimens the thoracic plicae extend into the abdomen, where they become less distinct. Termination of the abdomen usually ragged, but in some specimens with approximately eight to fifteen parallel, triangular lamellar feet or teeth. This species differs from all others of the genus in having a thick-walled, pronouncedly plicate thorax.

Size:
(based on thirty specimens): Length of apical horn 68-120µm; of cephalis 30-45µm; of thorax 108-138µm; of abdomen 38-143µm. Maximum breadth (usually at thorax) 130-173µm.

Etymology:
Latin annosus -a -um = old

Extra details from original publication
Distinguishing characters: The structure of the cephalis of Phormocyrtis annosa is apparently similar to that described in Anthocyrtidium cineraria Haeckel and Calocyrtis virginis Haeckel (Riedel, 1957, pp. 84-86 and 90-93).
