Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
V. Voichyshyn 2011Rather large−sized scolenaspidians (L ~100 mm). Shield is convex, rounded anteriorly, with insignificant curvature of lateral margins.Width of the shield exceeds its length. The prepineal part of the shield is a little shorter than the postpineal one. The cornual processes are not long, narrow. The ab− dominal division of the shield is comparatively wide, and has appreciable dorsomedial crest. The nasohypophyseal opening is key−hole in shape. The pineal plate is developed. The orbits are small. The dorsal field is elongated. Lateral fields are narrow enough, long, pulled together anteriorly, slightly ex− panded at the anterior ends and more appreciably at posterior ones. Surface of the shield is covered with small, convex tubercles.
