Original Description

Shell moderately robust, approximately oblate-ellipsoidal in over-all form. Cephalis sub-spherical, poreless or with a few small pores. The thorax is broadly conical proximally, then expands rapidly and contracts distally, so that it is 1.5-2 times as broad as it is long. Thoracic pores are circular, regular, increasing in size distally from the slight collar stricture. Thoracic surface thorny. Abdomen rarely preserved, closed, ranging from a slightly convex cap to hemispherical, with pores similar in size to those of the thorax but less regular.

Size:
(Based on 16 specimens) length 220-310µm. Length of thorax 1 25-195µm, its maximum breadth 240-335µm.

Etymology:
From the Greek brachys = short, and thorax.

Extra details from original publication
Distinguishing characters: This species is distinguished from C.? tanythorax and C. ? neatum by the pronounced compression of the thorax along the axis of the shell.
