Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
H. Kozur and H. Mostler 1989Long slender morphotype with shaft of different length with well developed basal sockel that has an excentric opening. Head suboval, broadest a little below its midlength and pointed in its upper part. Median ray tapers towards the midlength and becomes then considerably broader towards the upper end of the head. In lateral view the cavate spine is angular, highest in the broadest part of the head, but the elevation is not very steep. Cavae broadest in the middle part. The short morphotype has a broad, very short shaft with broad basal sockel, likewise with excentric opening. The head is short, broad, nearly round to broadly subtriangular. Upper margin of head pointed and also slightly angular against the side branches.
