Original Description
Sethophormida (vel Dicyrtida multiradiata aperta) with numerous radial ribs in the wall of the flat and broad, campanulate or nearly discoidal thorax. cephalis also flat and broad, cap-shaped, without horn.
Etymology: From the Greek sethophormis = sieve-basket"
Extra details from original publication
The genus Sethophormis comprises a great number of widely distributed and large Dicyrtida, all agreeing in the flat cap-shaped or nearly discoidal form of the thorax, which has constantly a very delicate network, and is pierced by numerous radial beams. Four of these are commonly primary and direct prolongations of the four cortinar rods in the collar septum, whilst the others are secondary or interpolated ribs. Sethophormis may be derived either from the triradial Lamprodiscus by multiplication of the ribs (or interpolation of secondary ribs between the three primary), or from Halicalyptra by development of transverse rods connecting its terminal feet, and forming a ribbed thorax. Corresponding to the number of the ribs, we may distinguish as subgenera (separate genera in my Prodromus, 1881, p. 432) Tetraphormis with four, Pentaphormis with five, Hexaphormis with six, Octophormis with eight, Enneaphormis with nine, and Astrophormis with ten to twenty or more ribs. The cephalis bears no horn, and is usually large, flat, cap-shaped or hemispherical.
[Junior objective synonym of Tetraphormis Haeckel, 1881a. Although Haeckel here refers to p.432 of his Prodromus of 1881, there is no generic name on that or any other page of that reference related to the name Sethophormis. Therefore, since Sethophormis dates from 1887a and four of the six subgenera names, Tetraphormis, Pentaphormis, Hexaphormis and Enneaphormis date from 1881a, one of the latter four names must be treated as the nominate subgenus and replace Sethophormis.
In the synonymy of, and in the figure description for Sethophormis aurelia Haeckel, 1887a, p.1248, pl.55, figs.3-4, Haeckel introduces the alternative generic name Leptarachnium. The name in the synonymy and on the plate refers only to an unpublished manuscript name, and we thus consider Leptarachnium Haeckel, 1887a to be a junior objective synonym of Sethophormis Haeckel, 1887a.
