Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| J. Guo et al. 2022 | Dorsal biseriate scleritome of successively overlapping and distinct left (sellate) and right (mitral) sclerites, with superim- posed smaller, dorsal, cap-shaped sclerites arranged in rows at the lateral margins of the scleritome. In each row, 12 sellate and 11 or 12 mitral sclerites are preserved. Sclerite surfaces bear growth lines and prominent, regular ribs, without visible radial ornamentation. Flat, rigid lobes flank the body—a longer and narrower dorsal lobe and shorter and wider ventral lobe. Dorsally, between the scleritome and the lobes, are long capillary chaetae, bundled into fascicles, with some additional spinose chaetae. |
