Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
À. Ossó and D. Clements 2021Carapace relatively small sized, suboctagonal, wider than long, sculpted. Maximum width at level of fourth anterolateral tooth, about 0.75 L/W ratio. Fronto orbital ratio about 0.60. Slightly vaulted longitudinally at anterior third. Regions well marked, inflated, except urogastric region; all inflated regions densely covered by clusters of mushroom shaped granules. Grooves separating regions smooth. Front bilobed densely granulated, with medial notch. Orbits forward directed; supraorbital margin with two fissures separated by a medial tooth; inner orbital tooth separated from the front by a notch; infraorbital margin visible dorsally. Anterolateral margin convex with four granulated teeth or nodes (excluding exorbital tooth). Posterolateral margin markedly convex. Posterior margin straight, rimmed, medially concave, ornate with a row of granules. Cervical and gastrohepatic grooves well-marked. Gastric process well-marked; epigastric lobes swollen; protogastric lobes swollen, anterior portion medially depressed, J shaped; mesogastric lobe broad posteriorly, anterior portion slender, reaching half of the protogastric lobes; metagastric lobe indistinct; urogastric region depressed, smooth, separated of meso-metagastric lobe by two gastric pits. Cardiac region swollen, broadly T-shaped. Intestinal region transversely elongate, inflated, medially divided by small smooth depression. Thoracic sternum flattened, finely granulated; sternite 3 inverted subtriangular; sternite 4 medially divided in two subtrapezoidal halves by sterno-abdominal cavity, lateral edges with parallel grooves; episternite well- developed, downward directed; sternite 5 subtrapezoidal laterally elongate, ending in a well-developed, downward directed episternite. Suture 2/3 complete; suture 3/4 laterally visible, medially marked by a transverse groove; suture 4/5 complete, possibly interrupted medially.
