English: Illustration from Report on the Radiolaria collected by Challenger during the years 1873-1876. Part III. Original description follows: Plate 118. Medusettida. Diam. Fig. 1. Gazelletta melusina, n. sp., × 300 From the peristome of the thorny campanulate shell arise six large descending feet, which are studded with arborescent fragile lateral branches, and armed at the distal end with stouter dichotomous terminal branches. Fig. 2. Euphysetta staurocodon, n. sp., × 300 The peristome of the ovate shell bears an odd large foot with three terminal branches and three cruciate rudimentary feet. In the upper part of the shell-cavity is visible the sphæroidal central capsule (containing a nucleus of half the size, with numerous nucleoli); in the lower half the dark pigment-masses of the green phæodium. Fig. 3. Euphysetta amphicodon, n. sp., × 300 The shell-wall exhibits the regular alveolate structure. From the mouth are prominent large masses of the phæodium, which is more voluminous than the shell-cavity, and seems to contain nucleated cells. . 1887 66 Radiolaria (Challenger) Plate 118
