Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| A. P. Van Viersen and W. Vanherle 2018 | Moderately 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. |
