Report on the Radiolaria Collected by H.M.S. Challenger During the Years 1873-1876, Second Part: Subclass Osculosa; Index: Report on the Scientific Results of the Voyage of H.M.S. Challenger During the Years 1873-76, Vol. XVIII

Radiolaria
Shell tuberculate, with distinct sagittal and collar strictures. Pores
irregular, roundish. Cephalis nut-shaped, larger than the short truncate
thorax. Horn conical, shorter than the cephalis. Peristome with a coronet
of twelve to fifteen short triangular feet, which are parallel and
vertical, slightly curved and shorter than the thorax.
_Dimensions._--Cephalis 0.05 long, 0.07 broad; thorax 0.03 long, 0.07
broad.
_Habitat._--Fossil in Barbadoes.
2. _Patagospyris lanceolata_, n. sp.
Shell tuberculate, with slight sagittal and sharp collar strictures. Pores
subregular, circular. Cephalis subspherical, about as large as the truncate
subcylindrical thorax. Horn spindle-shaped, about as long as the cephalis.
Peristome with a coronet of fifteen to twenty divergent lanceolate lamellar
feet, longer than the thorax.
_Dimensions._--Cephalis 0.08 long, 0.09 broad; thorax 0.07 long, 0.07
broad.
_Habitat._--Fossil in Barbados.
3. _Patagospyris stiligera_, Haeckel.
_Lithobotrys stiligera_, Ehrenberg, 1875, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss.
Berlin, p. 76, Taf. iii. fig. 17.
Shell smooth, hyaline, with deep sagittal and collar strictures. Pores very
small and few. Cephalis nut-shaped, bilobed, of the same breadth as the
cylindrical thorax. Horn conical, about as long as the cephalis. Peristome
with a coronet of six to nine broad lamellar feet (in Ehrenberg's figure
broken off).
_Dimensions._--Cephalis 0.04 to 0.05 diameter; thorax 0.06 long, 0.05
broad.
_Habitat._--Fossil in Barbados.
4. _Patagospyris anthocyrtis_, n. sp. (Pl. 95, fig. 19).
Shell smooth, with deep sagittal and deep collar strictures. Pores
irregular, roundish, of various sizes, numerous. Cephalis nut-shaped, with
two inflated bosoms, about twice as broad as the short cylindrical thorax.
Horn stout, pyramidal, about as long as the cephalis. Peristome with a
coronet of fifteen to twenty parallel and vertical triangular lamellar
feet, nearly as long as the thorax.
_Dimensions._--Cephalis 0.05 long, 0.1 broad; thorax 0.04 long, 0.06 broad.
_Habitat._--Tropical Atlantic, Station 347, depth 2250 fathoms.
Genus 477. _Rhodospyris_,[95] Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, p. 443.
_Definition._--#Phormospyrida# with numerous basal feet (nine to twelve or
more), and with three coryphal horns.
{1089}The genus _Rhodospyris_ differs from the preceding _Patagospyris_ in
the development of three coryphal horns (one odd middle apical horn, and
two paired frontal horns on each of its sides), and therefore bears the
same relation to the latter that the similar _Anthospyris_ does to
_Petalospyris_. When the numerous basal feet of _Anthospyris_ become
connected by lattice-work, _Rhodospyris_ arises.
1. _Rhodospyris tricornis_, n. sp. (Pl. 83, fig. 13).
