Original Description
Pylodiscida with a simple, spherical or lenticular, central chamber, surrounded by three simple arm-chambers. Notches between the three arms closed by lattice-work and by an equatorial girdle.
The genus Triodiscus differs from the preceding Triopyle in the development of loose lattice-work on both sides of the discoidal shell. This network closes the gates and transforms the whole shell into a fenestrated lens. The singular species of Triodiscus correspond to certain species of Triopyle.
