18. Pterocorys macroptera, n. sp.
Shell thin-walled, smooth, with two slight strictures. Length of the three joints = 1 : 3 : 2, breadth = 1 : 4 : 3. Cephalis hemispherical, armed with two larger and six to eight smaller, conical, divergent horns of different lengths. Thorax three-sided pyramidal; its three edges prolonged into three very large diverging wings, which are slender, three-sided, prismatic, and nearly twice as long as the shell. Abdomen short, cylindrical, with wide, truncate mouth. Pores irregular, roundish, in the middle part of the shell (on both sides of the girdle) much larger than in the upper and lower part.
Dimensions.—Length of the three joints, a 0.03, b 0.09, c 0.06; breadth, a 0.04, b 0.12. c 0.1.
