Haliomma didymocyrtis, Haeckel, 1860, Monatsber. d. k. preuss. Akad. d. Wiss. Berlin, p. 816.
Cortical shell thin walled, with spiny surface; pores irregular, roundish, three to nine times as broad as the bars; five to six on the half meridian of each chamber, eight to nine on its half equator. Spines of the surface partly very short, partly as long as the largest pores, either radially or obliquely inserted. Medullary shells both spherical.
