Original Description
Shell smooth, broadly pyramidal. Cephalis large, ovate, hyaline, without pores; its collar septum exhibits distinctly the four collar pores (two larger cardinal and two smaller jugular pores). Thorax broad, pyramidal, with slightly concave lateral outlines and nine (sometimes eight or ten) curved ribs, which are connected by eighteen to twenty-four complete transverse rings. The large meshes, so produced, have the form of a parallel trapezoid, and are in the eighth transverse row three times as broad as long. (Differs from Bathropyramis trapezoides, Pl. 54, fig. 3, mainly by the possession of a well developed cephalis).
Size: Cephalis 0.04 long, 0.03 broad; thorax (with eighteen rings) 0.32 long, 0.24 broad.
Editors' Notes
There was no illustration of this species in Haeckel (1887)
Haeckel listed Sethopyramis trapezoides under the subgeneric name Cephalopyramis, but did not include the subgeneric name in the species name.[comment from RadWorld database]
