Original description as Deflandrea multispinosa: [Cookson and Eisenack, 1970, p. 141]:

Description:
Shell small, slightly longer than broad. Epitheca somewhat larger than the hypotheca with slightly convex sides and a short, centrally placed apical horn which, when entire, is bluntly pointed. The sides of the hypotheca, which are straight or slightly convex, slant downwards towards a relatively narrow and straight base with two short but distinct antapical horns of unequal length, the left-hand one being the larger. In two specimens only one relatively large antapical horn is developed (Pl. 11, fig. 7).
The girdle is prominent, circular and discontinuous on the dorsal surface, the breaks being to the right and left of a median portion and near the lateral walls. The wall of the shell is distinctly and closely ornamented with short, sharply pointed spines.
A large internal capsule, oval in shape, almost fills the shell.
The archeopyle is squarish to circular in outline.

Dimensions:
Holotype: c. 96 µm long, 62 µm broad.
Range of 10 specimens: c. 67-102 µm long, 46-72 µm broad.
