Homotryblium floripes ssp. floripes
Homotryblium floripes subsp. floripes.
Autonym.
Originally Hystrichosphaeridium floripes subsp. floripes, subsequently Cordosphaeridium floripes subsp. floripes, thirdly (and now) Homotryblium floripes subsp. floripes.
Holotype: Deflandre and Cookson, 1955, pl. 7, fig. 1
Locus typicus: near Denmark, W Australia
Stratum typicum: Early Tertiary
Original description: Deflandre and Cookson, 1955, p. 276: Hystrichosphaeridium floripes
Shell globular, with about 16-18 tubular processes not communicating with the interior. Processes generally consisting of from 2 to several tubes joined along the greater part of their length, the individual tubes widening and sometimes separating from one another distally. Proximally the peripheral tubes widen considerably as they fuse with the membrane of the shell, forming on its surface a clearly defined flower-like design. Sometimes the processes may consist of a single tube with a rounded base. Membrane of shell thin and finely reticulate.
