Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
T. Kobayashi and T. Hamada 1986 (Bolivicrania)Cephalon provided with a pair of long genal spines. Glabella
more or less contracted laterally at mid-length, composed of a large subtrigonally
ovate unf urrowed main lobe and a pair of relatively small basal lobes ; axial
furrows provided with a pair of profound pits in anterior part, isolating basal
lobes by their straight posterior extension as far as occipital furrow; small
median preoccipital lobe present; eyes and palpebra] lobes fairly large, located
posteriorly, embracing basal lobes; marginal rim and furrow narrow; lateral
and posterior marginal furrows meeting at genal angle and then running into
long genal spine; anterior branches of facial sutures nearly straight and divergent
from eyes as far as parallels through eyes and abruptly bent near cephalic
margin; their posterior branches nearly diagonal and short behind eyes. Pygidium
subtrigonal, a little broader than long and provided with depressed marginal
border; lateral margins gently arcuate and confluent with rounded narrow posterior
margin; axial lobe nearly as wide as pleural part and multisegmented ;
each axial ring divided into a broad convex median part and a pair of small
depressed lateral sectants ; a few anterior pleural ribs and furrows running into
lateral border.
