Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| E. Cadena and W. G. Joyce 2015 | a representative of Dortoka by the distinct micro- and macrosculpturing of the carapace, absence of contact between peripheral I and costal I, irregularly shaped neurals, a lapping of pleural onto costal I and the absence of mesoplastra. Dortoka vasconica is currently differentiated from other Dortoka by the presence of the sculpturing on the neurals and costals, the trapezoidal pleural II that distally laps onto costal I and V and the oblique humeropectoral sulcus. |
