Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R. G. Johnson 2024 | Cephalon strongly vaulted and ovoid. Preglabellar field narrow (sag.) (20% to 30% of
width (tr.)) and posterior border short (tr.) (20% to 30% of width (tr.) of occipital ring). Genal area narrow, width (tr.) under 54% of length (exsag.). Alae large, extending over 60% of way across (tr.) genal area. Eye lobe forms prominent inflated cone or oval extending from edge of axial furrow to near internal margin of fringe. Anterior boss absent or barely inflated and girder without kink. Genal roll and brim free of caeca. Brim slightly concave (sag.), straight laterally, gently to moderately sloping and steepening quickly to near vertical on prolongations. Brim narrowing (tr.) moderately strongly to very strongly posteriorly (brim width ratio <0.68). Extension of girder meeting internal rim one third of the way down prolongation. Thorax up to 31 segments |
