Original description: [Cookson and Eisenack, 1960, p.10]:

Description:
Shell small, oval to slightly angular in outline, appendages which support the thin external membrane extremely short and densely arranged.
A "girdle" is evident, particularly at the sides of the shell. The shell opens by an uneven break at one end.

Dimensions:
Holotype: 39 µm long, 30 µm broad.
Range: 29-43 µm long x 24-38 µm broad.

Affinities:
Chlamydophorella urna is distinct from Chlamydophorella nyei Cookson and Eisneack in the smaller size of both the shell and appendages and the absence of an apical projection.
