Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| J. R. Pollitt et al. 2005 | Moderately long preglabellar field (character 1). Longitudinal furrow can be effaced but, if not, is not continuous with S0 (character 2). S1 conjoins to S2 to circumscribe the lobe L2, may be effaced (character 3). Median glabella does not overhang the anterior border (character 7). Glabella lobe is L2 (character 10). Sagittal convexity of cranidium is weak (character 20). Path of anterior section of facial suture is strongly divergent (except in Acidaspidella, where it is subparallel: character 21). No interpleural furrows are present (character 35). All taxa have more than one complete pygidial inter-ring furrow (character 39). |
