Original Description

Shell entirely enveloped by spongy framework, pyramidal, with straight outlines. Cephalis ovate (twice as large as in the preceding species), with small circular pores. Thorax with twelve stout and straight ribs, which are connected by twenty to twenty-five annular, transverse bars. The subregular square meshes so produced are filled up by irregular, spongy network, which envelops the whole shell more loosely than in Spongopyramis spongiosa.

Size:
Cephalis 0.03 long, 0.02 broad; thorax 0.5 long, 0.2 broad.
