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 hemispherical, with small irregular roundish pores. Basal lattice
with four large meshes, two major cardinal and two minor jugular pores.
Apical horn and the three feet of similar form and size, slender prismatic,
straight, twice to four times as long as the shell. Three lateral wings
nearly semicircular, densely latticed, with the same pores as the shell,
and smooth convex margin.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.05 long, 0.06 broad.
_Habitat._--South Pacific, Station 295, depth 1500 fathoms.
5. _Archiscenium callimitra_, n. sp.
Shell campanulate, with irregular polygonal pores. Basal lattice with nine
meshes (three larger central and six smaller distal pores, as in
_Callimitra carolotæ_, Pl. 63, fig. 8). Apical horn straight, prismatic,
slender, conical, twice as long as the shell. Feet longer and more slender,
slightly curved. Three lateral wings very broad, densely fenestrated, with
irregular polygonal pores of the same shape as in the similar _Callimitra
carolotæ_ (Pl. 63, fig. 1).
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.05 long, 0.04 broad.
_Habitat._--Western Tropical Pacific, Station 225, depth 4475 fathoms.
Genus 507. _Pteroscenium_,[124] Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, p. 429.
_Definition._--#Archiperida# (vel Monocyrtida triradiata clausa) with a
free branched internal columella, prolonged into an apical horn. Three
basal feet connected with the horn by three vertical lateral wings.
{1152}The genus _Pteroscenium_ differs from the preceding _Archiscenium_
only in the ramification of the internal columella, and therefore exhibits
to it the same relation that _Cladoscenium_ bears to _Euscenium_. The
branches of the columella form also here verticils of ascending branches,
three in each verticil, and their distal ends are inserted on the inner
surface of the lattice-shell.
1. _Pteroscenium arcuatum_, n. sp. (Pl. 98, fig. 4).
Shell campanulate, smooth, nearly conical, somewhat broader than long, with
irregular dense network of small circular pores. Columella straight, with
two or three triradiate verticils of horizontal lateral branches, which are
inserted in the shell-wall. Horn slender pyramidal, as long as the shell.
Three divergent feet twice as long as the horn, strongly curved, thorny,
three-edged; the distance of their pointed ends twice as broad as the
shell. From the outer edge of each foot arise numerous ascending bristles,
which are connected together and with similar lateral branches of the horn
by curved arches, forming three delicate spiny vertical wings.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.06 long, 0.08 broad.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 271, depth 2425 fathoms.
2. _Pteroscenium arcadophorum_, n. sp.
