Original Description
[Google Translated from Russian]: The shell is straight or curved. It consists of several chambers, separated to varying degrees from each other, communicating with each other by means of thin tubular necks. The chambers are almost round, ovoid, spindle-shaped or pear-shaped. The wall is made of sandy, fairly densely cemented particles of various sizes and shapes. The outer opening is simple, round, at the end of a terminally located neck; the inner openings are at the base of each chamber, at the junction of the previous chamber with the next. The ends of the necks do not enter the cavity of the chambers, but, expanding, form the base. The mouth ridge is absent.
Extra details from original publication
Общие замечания. Раковинки гормозинелл вследствие хрупкости шеек, соединяющих камеры, встречаются обычно в виде обломков различной величины.
Распространение. Обитают в холодных и глубоких водач современных морей и океанов; исключение, по-видимому, составляют моря восточной части Арктического бассейна (от Баренцева до Восточно-Сибирского), где виды данного рода пока не обнаружены.
[Google Translated from Russian]: Species composition. This year we include species previously described as reophaxes or hormosinae: Reophax aduncus Brady, R. guttifer Brady, Hormosina carpenteri Brady, H. ovicula Brady, etc.
General remarks. Due to the fragility of the necks connecting the chambers, the shells of hormosinellae are usually found in the form of fragments of various sizes.
Distribution. They live in cold and deep waters of modern seas and oceans; the exception, apparently, are the seas of the eastern part of the Arctic Basin (from the Barents to the East Siberian), where species of this genus have not yet been found.
