Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R. D. Hoare 2006 | Small (4-5 mm long), elongate with snout distinct from body; anterior gape limited to anterior end of snout; dorsal margin of snout convex; costae on snout curve strongly to ventral margin.
Leptoconocardium differs from Conocardium Bronn, 1835 by a shorter body and more distinct separation of body and snout, the ventrally curved snout costae, and the convex shape of the snout dorsally. Arceodomus Pojeta and Runnegar, 1976, besides being much larger, differs in having comarginal ridges on the body and rostral face and a straight dorsal margin |
