Original Description

Shell partly or entirely enveloped by spongy framework, slender, pyramidal, with rather straight outlines. Cephalis very small, ovate, hyaline. Thorax with nine very stout and nearly straight ribs, which are connected by fifteen to twenty or more irregular, interrupted transverse bars. The irregular quadrangular meshes so produced are filled up by an irregular secondary network, with meshes of very different size and form. The dense spongy envelope, which in the specimen figured covered only half the shell, was complete in another older specimen.

Cephalis 0.015 long, 0.01 broad; thorax 0.4 long, 0.25 broad.
