Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. P. Van Viersen and W. Vanherle 2018Moderately small phacopid. Cephalon parabolic
in outline, bearing widely spaced, cone-like pustules on glabella.
Dorsoventrally low occipital ring. L1 small, flat, sunken deep
below adjacent parts of the cephalon. Moderately broad palpebral
area, highest point slightly ascending above palpebral lobe.
Anterior half of glabella more inflated than posterior half. Lateral
glabellar furrows S2 and S3 and post- and subocular pads absent.
Axial furrow rudimentary anterior to eyes. Narrow glabella, with
axial furrows more divergent between S1 and point opposite δ
than anterior to this last point. Large visual surface (max. 18/8-
9 lenses); sclera not developed horizontally between lenses and
rudimentary between dorsoventral files of lenses; lenses distinctly
protruding from visual surface. Short (sag., exsag.) thoracic axial
rings, bearing close-set tubercles anteriorly and few tubercles
posteriorly; weakly defined lateral lobes. Pygidial axial rings
bearing closely spaced tubercles; first three inter-ring furrows are
particularly well developed. Pygidial pleurae bearing few small
tubercles; pleural furrows broad (exsag.) and deep.
