Original Description
Cephalis small, hemispherical, with subregular, small hexagonal pores. Thorax flatly conical, with larger hexagonal meshes and twenty-four ribs; four of these are perradial and prolongations of the four collar bars; four interradial arise from the collar ring between the former, alternating with them. Each of these eight main ribs gives off two more or less irregular, lateral branches (one at each side), altogether sixteen. The thorax is similar to Cladarachnium ramosum (Pl. 55, fig. 5), whilst the cephalis is quite different. Peristome with twenty-four prominent triangular lobes.
Cephalis 0.02 long, 0.03 broad; thorax 0.1 long, 0.4 broad.
