Chlamydophorella nyei ssp. nyei
Autonym.

Stratum typicum: Aptian-Turonian

Original description Chlamydophorella nyei: [Cookson and Eisenack 1958, p. 56-57]:
Description:
The shell is approximately spherical with a short peltate apical projection and is covered with numerous short, slender bifurcate processes which support a delicate membrane. The processes narrow from base to apex and are mostly inserted at right angles to the shell, but in the apical region lie parallel to the polar axis. The length of the spines differs slightly. They are longest on either side of the equatorial region giving a slightly angular outline to the whole body and a median "girdle"-like appearance in optical section.
