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 subspherical, about as long as broad, smooth. Network with regular
circular pores, twice as broad as the bars. Columella with two verticils of
three ascending branches, prolonged into a stout conical horn of twice the
length. Twelve to fifteen conical curved divergent feet, about as long as
the shell. The three primary feet are directly connected with the base of
the columella.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.08 diameter, horn 0.15 long, feet 0.07 to 0.09 long.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 274, depth 2750 fathoms.
Genus 524. _Calpophæna_,[141] Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, p. 429.
_Definition._--#Archiphænida# (vel Monocyrtida multiradiata clausa) with an
apical horn and simple internal cavity of the shell without axial
columella.
The genus _Calpophæna_ and the following closely tied _Archiphæna_ differ
from the two preceding genera of Archiphænida in the simple shell cavity,
which encloses no columella. They may be derived either from the preceding
_Phænocalpis_ by loss of the columella, or directly from the Zygospyrida by
reduction of the sagittal constriction and loss of the primary ring.
Different subgenera may be distinguished in _Calpophæna_ according either
to the number of the feet or to their shape (being simple or branched).
{1176}Subgenus 1. _Acrocorona_, Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, p. 430.
_Definition._--Feet simple, not branched nor forked.
1. _Calpophæna tetrarrhabda_, n. sp.
Shell subspherical, tuberculate, with subregular circular pores. Apical
horn conical, about as long as the shell. Basal plate with a regular cross
of four equal cortinar pores, separated by four bars; these are crossed in
the sagittal and frontal diameter, and prolonged into four equal conical
divergent feet, about as long as the shell.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.1 diameter, horn and feet 0.1 to 0.12 long.
_Habitat._--South Pacific, Station 297, depth 1775 fathoms.
2. _Calpophæna hexarrhabda_, n. sp. (Pl. 53, figs. 17, 18).
Shell subspherical, rough, with irregular roundish pores. Apical horn
conical, shorter than the shell. Basal plate (fig. 18) with three pairs of
triangular pores, two larger (cardinal) pores in the middle, two smaller
(cervical) at the dorsal, and two intermediate (jugular) at the ventral
side. The bars between them are prolonged into six equal cylindrical
divergent feet, nearly as long as the shell, provided with a spiny knob at
the end.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.09 long, 0.08 broad; horn and feet 0.06 to 0.08
long.
_Habitat._--Tropical Pacific, Station 224, depth 1850 fathoms.
3. _Calpophæna ennearrhabda_, n. sp.
Shell subspherical, spiny, with irregular, roundish pores. Apical horn
cylindrical, longer than the shell. Basal plate with nine collar pores,
three larger central alternating with three pairs of smaller peripheral
(like Pl. 87, fig. 2). Corona with nine slender cylindrical, slightly
curved, divergent feet, somewhat longer than the shell.
