Original Description
Cephalis large, hemispherical, with irregular, polygonal pores. Thorax flatly campanulate, with subregular, hexagonal pores, and six stout radial ribs; the lateral connected in pairs. (Fig. 6 exhibits the central part of the shell, seen from below.) In the subcircular collar septum the two anterior (jugular) meshes are much smallcr than the two posterior (cardinal) meshes. The odd anterior (sternal) rib is opposite to the posterior (caudal) rib. The two paired ribs of each side (antero-lateral or pectoral and postero-lateral or ventral ribs) diverge from one common point. In the specimen figured the left half of the thorax exhibited the two regular ribs, and the right half three, a posterior accessory branch being developed (transition to Octophormis). This specimen might indeed be called Heptaphormis heptalactis.
Size: Cephalis 0.02 long, 0.05 broad; thorax 0.08 long, 0.22 broad.
Editors' Notes
See Sethophormis heptalactis.
Haeckel listed Sethophormis hexalactis under the subgeneric name Hexaphormis, but did not include the subgeneric name in the species name.
Because Haeckel indicates above that the illustration (pl.56, fig.6) is more appropriately called Heptaphormis heptalactis =[Sethophormis heptalactis], we include it to illustrate that species rather than S. hexalactis.[comment from RadWorld database]
