Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| A. Y. Ivantsov and R. Wrona 2004 | Annulation moderately broad, intercalations absent. Annuli with two rows of sparsely spaced plates and platelets. Plates with central node surrounded by circlet of sharply pointed nodes. Platelets perfectly miniaturized version of plates, and arranged loosely in
rows alternate to the plates. All sclerites are embedded in cuticular tissue, with a characteristic superficial labyrinthine pattern. Genus differs from the others palaeosolecid genera in having two rows of identically ornamented sclerites which differ in size (plates and platelets) embedded in an inter-sclerite cuticular tissue, which has labyrinthine surface structure. |
