Original description as Cannosphaeropsis apiculata: [Cookson and Eisenack, 1960, p. 254]:
Description:
Shell small, sphaerical with simple network composed of about eight to twelve solid sometimes flattened supporting processes which branch distally and thin connecting threads which bear small spinules.
