Original description: Shell of four segments, pyriform. Cephalis spherical; thorax and abdomen truncate conical. The proximal three segments form a conical proximal part. The fourth segment large, subspherical without aperture. Collar and lumber strictures indistinct externally. Joint between abdomen and fourth segment marked by rapid change in contour from the conical proximal part to spherical distal part. Pores circular to subcircular, densely spaced and set in polygonal (largely hexagonal) pore frames. Pores around distal end slightly larger than those on the rest of shell and surrounded by rims. Small nodes situated at the pore frame vertices in some specimens.

Original remarks: This species is compared to Minocapsa cylindrica, n. sp. under the latter species.

Etymology: The specific name is derived from the Latin globosus-a-um (spherical).

Minocapsa globosa was named by Matsuoka (1991). Its type specimen is NU MR 0044 and is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Mino Terrane, Nanjo Massif, Imajo Unit, sample MNA-10, which is in a Toarcian basinal (siliceous) mudstone in Japan.
