Catalog entries: Tripilidium clavipes
Original description: Shell small, globose, with stout horn and three equally distant, stout, laterally spiked feet which arise from broad, angled shoulder bladelike plates with sweepingly concave sides at the lower edge of the shell; the plates continuous in the interradii but with a few small, downwardly directed spines around the margin, form a tripod, each four-angled, the sides with scattered, very strong thorns of several sizes mostly at some distance below the base; apical horn cylindrical, stout, thick, broken off about halfway of its length; shell hemispherical but asymmetrical, the cavity following the contour, with scattered pores of several sizes enclosed within rectangular, shallow areas, these in turn within larger reticulated areas, the pores not numerous and well-separated, the pores circular, mostly uniform, but somewhat larger ones are found near the aperture; aperture a simple opening.
Length of shell, 50µm; of feet, 62µm; breadth of shell, 71.0µm. Distinguishing characters (rw): The species differs principally from the T. longipes n. sp. in the character of the feet which have very strong thorns on all sides. The horn is also stronger.
Remarks on original description: [The authors here list Tripilidium clavipes under the subgeneric name Tristylocorys and include the subgeneric name in the species name.
