Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. B. Smith and S. Zamora 2009A clade of Sucocystidae with the following synapomorphy: obvious protuberance developed on the dorsal part of plates M2l, M3l, M3r and M4r. Other (plesiomorphic) features: protuberances present on ventral surface of marginal ring – always present on plates M0, M2l, M3l, M2r, M3r and M4r. Food groove with short right-hand branch extending only as far as plate M2r and left-hand branch extending to plate M1l. Ventral plated surface composed of relatively few large plates.
