Original Description

Spines slightly curved, three-sided prismatic, thorny, with two pairs of lateral branches. The six smaller distal branches end freely, whilst the six larger basal branches are connected by slender convex bows. There are therefore nine wide meshes, as in the preceding closely allied species.

Size:
Iength of the spines 0.18, of the basal branches 0.08.

Editors' Notes
There was no illustration of this species in Haeckel (1887)
Description: The \preceding closely allied species\" refers to Plectophora arachnoides Haeckel, 1887a.

Loeblich and Tappan [1735;227] proposed the new name Plectophorina for Plectophora Haeckel, 1887a, a junior homonym of Plectophora Gray, 1834"[comment from RadWorld database]
