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, smooth, with small subregular, circular pores. Collar
septum with four large pores (fig. 10_a_). Twelve to fifteen feet,
divergent, lamellar, truncate, about as long as the shell. (Similar to
certain forms of _Gorgospyris_, Pl. 87, figs. 1 to 3, but with simple shell
cavity, without sagittal ring and constriction, and without a columella.)
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.08 long, 0.04 broad; feet 0.03 to 0.04 long.
_Habitat._--North Pacific, Station 244, depth 2900 fathoms.
2. _Archiphæna corona_, n. sp.
Shell crown-shaped, somewhat broader than long, at the base flattened,
papillate, with irregular roundish pores. Twenty to twenty-five feet,
broad, lamellar, truncate, nearly vertical, about twice as long as the
shell.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.1 long, 0.12 broad; feet 0.2 to 0.22 long.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 268, depth 2900 fathoms.
Subgenus 2. _Stephanophæna_, Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, p. 429.
_Definition._--Feet branched or forked.
3. _Archiphæna stephanoma_, n. sp.
Shell campanulate, somewhat longer than broad, with subregular, circular
pores. Margin of the flattened base with a corona of about twenty unequal
feet, which are partly simple, partly irregularly branched, and about as
long as the shell.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.11 long, 0.03 broad; feet 0.08 to 0.12 long.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 271, depth 2425 fathoms.
Family LXI. #CYRTOCALPIDA#, n. fam.
Archicorida et Archicapsida, Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, pp. 427, 428.
_Definition._--#Monocyrtida# eradiata. (#Cyrtoidea# with a simple, not
jointed shell, representing a simple cephalis without radial apophyses.)
The family #Cyrtocalpida#, composed of the Archicorida and Archicapsida of
my {1179}Prodromus, comprises those #Cyrtoidea# in which the lattice-shell
is quite simple, without transverse constriction, and without radial
apophyses. The two subfamilies differ in the shape of the basal mouth,
which in the Archicorida is a simple wide opening, but in the Archicapsida
is closed by a lattice-plate.
Only a few species of this family were formerly known. Ehrenberg, in 1838,
founded upon these the genus _Cornutella_, one of the three oldest genera
of Polycystina (_Cornutella_, _Lithocampe_, _Haliomma_). In 1862 I
described some living forms, with a central capsule, as _Cyrtocalpis_. The
Challenger collection contains a large number of new genera and species.
