Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R. Feist et al. 2016Wide, transversely low vaulted cephalon with short, wide-based, anterior-ward protruding glabella; small forward positioned eye with reniform visual surface; deeply marked, outwardly concave palpebral furrows and narrow palpebral lobes; deep vincular structure and long post-vincular doublure; pygidium trapezoidal, of high lateral and transverse profile; pygidial axis narrow, high, arched in lateral profile, with few axial rings; sculpture: fine-grained dense tuberculation.
R. Feist and G. Klapper 2022Cephalon wide and short with gently rounded genal angles; glabella very wide anteriorly, with short anterior portion, low transversely, antero- laterally slightly embayed, with steep anterior wall not overhanging in front; sagittally short tripartite intercalating ring; small forwardly-positioned eye with reniform visual surface extending forwards to border furrow or slightly encroaching onto border; divergent, deep, almost straight palpebral furrows, narrow lens-shaped palpebral lobe; cylindrical previncular doublure forming protruding anterior border; continously deep vincular furrow, postvincular doublure long to moderate in sagittal length. Pygidium of high lateral and transverse profile; axis high, with rounded posterior end not reaching posterior margin, with up to eight straight axial rings and deep axial furrows; pleural field with 4–5 vaulted ribs markedly defined by deep pleural furrows that remain distant from postero-lateral margin. Sculpture: dense small-grained tuberculation.
