Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
P. Y. Parkhaev and Y. Demidenko 2010"Organism of spherical or ellipsoidal shape with armor of external sclerites. Sclerites composed of 1–20 spines surrounding a single central spine or disc (rarely two or three central spines), or simply connecting to each other in various ways. All spines hollow, usually have circular cross section. Internal cavity of each spine opens by small foramen (basal pore)."
