Thorax with subspherical cavity. Abdomen with three sharp prominent edges, which are prolonged over the convex shell-base into three slender, prismatic, hollow, fenestrated feet, strongly divergent, twice as long as the thorax (seen in fig. 11 from the vaulted base). Pores circular, twice as broad in the abdomen as in the thorax.

8. Lithochytris pyramidalis, Ehrenberg.
Shell three-sided pyramidal, without external strictures, but with two internal transverse girdles. Length of the three joints = 1 : 2 : 6, breadth = 2 : 4 : 8. Cephalis with a short horn of half the length, conical. Cavity of the thorax subspherical. Abdomen with three rounded edges, prolonged over the concave base into three pyramidal, hollow, and fenestrated feet, twice as long as the thorax. Pores large, irregular, roundish.
