Original Description

Description: Shell heart-shaped, about as long as broad. Sagittal ring with 6 pairs of branching bars. Constriction at the sagittal ring about 1/5 as long as the shell. Lacks marginal girdle and arachnoidal framework. All meshes simple.

Dimensions: (3 specimens) length sagittal ring: 68-80 p, Md 68; length overall: 264-284 µ, Md 272; breadth: 268-300 µ, Md 276.

Type locality: 11°N, 155°W, plankton, 125-200 m.

Remarks: This species is most closely related to N. paradictyum Haeckel and differs from it in that it is much smaller and lacks a marginal girdle and arachnoidal framework. The specific name docris is an anagram of the word cordis meaning heart.
