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
_Habitat._--Fossil in Barbados.
Subgenus 2. _Lamprotripus_, Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, p. 432.
_Definition._--Shell spiny or thorny, with prominent spines on the edges of
the three thoracic ribs. (Commonly one larger and a few smaller horns or
spines on the cephalis.)
{1200}17. _Dictyophimus triserratus_, n. sp. (Pl. 61, fig. 17).
Shell three-sided pyramidal, with slight collar stricture. Relative length
of the two joints = 1 : 3, breadth = 1 : 4. Cephalis small, subspherical,
with a large pyramidal horn three times as long. Thorax with much larger,
irregular roundish, double-edged pores, and three prominent, serrate ribs,
which are prolonged into three pyramidal strongly divergent feet of the
same length.
_Dimensions._--Cephalis 0.02 long, 0.02 broad; thorax 0.06 long, 0.09
broad.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 274, depth 2750 fathoms.
18. _Dictyophimus bicornis_, n. sp.
Shell thorny, with deep collar stricture. Relative length of the two joints
= 2 : 3, breadth = 2 : 3. Cephalis nearly as large as the thorax,
subglobular, with numerous small, circular pores, and two divergent
pyramidal horns of half the length (a major occipital and a minor frontal
horn). Thorax three-sided pyramidal, with larger irregular pores and three
serrate ribs, which are prolonged into three prismatic spiny feet of half
the length. (Differs from the similar _Dictyophimus sphærocephalus_, Pl.
57, fig. 10, mainly in the double horn and the spinulate feet.)
_Dimensions._--Cephalis 0.05 long, 0.05 broad; thorax 0.08 long, 0.07
broad.
_Habitat._--Western Tropical Pacific, Station 225, depth 4475 fathoms.
19. _Dictyophimus pocillum_, Ehrenberg.
_Dictyophimus pocillum_, Ehrenberg, 1875, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss.
Berlin, p. 68, Taf. v. fig. 6.
Shell thorny, with distinct collar stricture. Relative length of the two
joints = 1 : 5, breadth = 1 : 5. Cephalis nearly spherical, with numerous
small conical spines. Thorax flat, three-sided pyramidal with large,
irregular, roundish pores, and three strong, widely divergent, spinulate
ribs, which are prolonged into three prismatic spinulate feet of the same
length.
_Dimensions._--Cephalis 0.03 long, 0.03 broad; thorax 0.15 long, 0.15
broad.
_Habitat._--Fossil in Barbados.
20. _Dictyophimus cienkowskii_, n. sp. (Pl. 60, fig. 1).
_Lamprotripus squarrosus_, Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus et Atlas.
Shell spiny, flatly pyramidal, with slight collar stricture. Relative
length of the two joints = 1 : 3, breadth = 2 : 6. Cephalis flat,
cap-shaped, three times as long as broad, with numerous bristle-shaped
spines three times as long. Thorax also spiny, with irregular, very large,
polygonal meshes and thin bars; its three ribs prolonged into three very
long and thin, widely divergent, prismatic feet, bearing numerous long
spines on the three edges.
_Dimensions._--Cephalis 0.025 long, 0.05 broad; thorax 0.075 long, 0.15
broad.
_Habitat._--North Pacific, Station 250, surface.
