Original Description Cephalis subspherical, quite small, with very small pores all over, bearing a stout conical rod-like apical horn, three-bladed in the proximal part. Collar stricture with four collar pores internally, not defined externally. Cephalic structure has A, V, two L and D; V extends obliquely upward at quite a low angle, two l are incorporated into the stout septal ring. Two L and D are not connected to lateral ribs. Thorax subhemispherical, quite thick-walled, with subcircular pores with well-developed pore frames, slightly rough surface with nodal points. Abdomen inflated pyramidal, thick-walled, with subcircular, large pores, developing three convexly curved keels from the uppermost or median part of the abdomen, constricted aperture, termination ragged. Size: (Based on 10 specimens) Overall height 120-160 µ, height of cephalis and thorax 40-54 µ, maximum width of cephalis 24-32 µ, width of thorax 42-60 µ. Extra details from original publication Distinguishing characters: This species seems to be closely related to Phormocyrtis striata exquisita. It is distinguished from the latter by the generally irregular structure of abdomen with outwardly curved keels and not regularly arranged longitudinal rows of pores. Editors' Notes Equivalent to Phormocyrtis striata exquisita (Kozlova) Westberg et al., 1980, pl.1, fig.13.
