Definition. T ripocalpida with the basal mouth of the shell open (vel Mono- 

 cyrtida triradiata aperta). 



Genus 496. Tripocalpis, 1 Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, p. 428. 



Definition. A rchipilida (vel Monocyrtida triradiata aperta) with three lateral 

 ribs prolonged into three terminal feet. Apex with a horn. 



The genus Tripocalpis opens the series of Archipilida, or of those Monocyrtida in 

 which the inonothalamous shell exhibits a distinct triradial structure, and a simple open 

 mouth, without cortinar lattice. Tripocalpis is probably the most primordial of the 

 Archipilida, and has three lateral ribs, which are prolonged into three free terminal
