Catalog entries: Calocycletta caepa
Original description: Cephalis ovate, lobed, with sparse circular to subcircular pores and bearing a conical (early forms) to slightly bladed (late forms) apical horn. Thorax subspherical to campanulate, with circular pores hexagonally arranged and longitudinally aligned. External lumbar stricture absent in early forms but distinct in late forms. Abdomen lighter and more delicate than thorax, cylindrical in shape, containing subcircular to circular pores which may show longitudinal alignment and hexagonal arrangement (early forms). Late forms may have a very light, very irregularly pored abdomen that appears almost spongy. Abdomen terminates in five to fourteen triangular or spike-shaped feet which are usually very short and irregularly spaced.
