Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
F. de Lapparent de Broin 2004differs from S. baibolitica in the: - anterior border of the dorsal carapace rounded, ovoid by progressive elongation toward the mid-line of the anterior peripherals and all the nuchal, not notched; - narrower axillary notches because of the more rounded and wider border of the anterior lobe; - very weak medial depression on the rounded posterior lobe border; - the anterior limit with the vertebral 5 of the marginals 12 only medially on the suprapygal (up to the pleural 8 in S. b. ancestralis). More primitive in the wider vertebrals.
