Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R. D. Hoare 2006Body swollen; rostral face produced, primary carina lacking. Kyoconocardium differs from Apotocardium Hoare, Mapes, and Yancey, 2002 by the lack of a primary carina, a produced rostral face, and more distinct separation of body and snout. Pseudomulceodens Hoare 1990 has longitudinal shelves in the snout, a longer anterior gape, and a truncate rostral face. Bransonia Pojeta and Runnegar, 1976 is truncate posteriorly. Oxyprora Hoare, Mapes, and Yancey, 2002 has a more extended rostral face with fewer and larger costae on it.
