ReferenceDiagnosis
T.-Y. Park et al. 2008Cranidium generally as long as wide; glabella truncato-conical with faintly impressed glabellar furrows; occipital ring semi-circular, with a small median node; palpebral lobes crescentic, small to intermedi- ate in size, located at a level corresponding to anterior half of glabella; eye-ridges weakly to clearly developed, transverse to directed ob- liquely rearwards; preglabellar area convex, ca one-third of cranidial length; a pair of incomplete furrows emerge from antero- lateral corners of glabella and diverge ob- liquely forwards on frontal area; anterior border absent or very narrow. Librigena long and narrow, with a postero-laterally directed long genal spine.
