type image: P. dodecommaOriginal description: Shell smooth, slenderly pyramidal, with straight outlines. Cephalis conical, obtuse, with thirty-six small square pores (in nine divergent longitudinal rows, each of four pores). Collar septum (between cephalis and thorax) with four distinct collar pores. Thorax pyramidal, with nine very stout and straight angular radial beams, which are connected by ten to fifteen broad horizontal nine angled rings. Each of the large regular, square meshes so produced contains a very delicate fenestra tion, with twelve regular, square pores, separated by two transverse and three longitudinal crossed threads. A very regular and remarkable structure.
Remarks on original description: Haeckel listed Plectopyramis dodecomma under the subgeneric name Enneapleuris, but did not include the subgeneric name in the species name.[comment from RadWorld database]
