Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| D. J. Holloway et al. 2022 | Cephalon of low convexity (sag., exsag., tr.). Glabella very wide posteriorly, there comprising about 75% cranidial width, narrowing forwards abruptly for short distance immediately in front of posterior margin, thereafter narrowing less strongly as far as lunette, expanding at similar rate in front of lunette as far as axial furrow is distinguishable. Palpebral lobe of moderate size, situated its own length or less from posterior cephalic margin; anterior branch of facial suture diverging moderately strongly forwards from γ to β. Librigena with posterior margin curving gently backwards to strongly rounded genal angle, and with very weak vincular furrow running close to and subparallel with inner edge of doublure adaxial to genal angle. Rostral plate lenticular in ventral view, gently convex (sag., exsag.). Hypostome parabolic in outline behind large anterior wings, without shoulders; anterior lobe of middle body elliptical in outline, posterior lobe with prominent maculae. Thorax nonfulcrate, with very wide axis comprising most of segmental width (tr.); axial furrow indistinct. Pygidium more convex than cranidium, subelliptical in outline, as wide or a little wider than long, maximum width well in front of midlength (sag.); axis very wide anteriorly, there comprising about 60% maximum pygidial width, otherwise undefined; anteriormost pleural furrow impressed; doublure increasing in width posteromedially, its inner margin with a bifid forward projection medially. |
