Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
C. G. Barras 2007Tithoniids with ambulacral zones as wide as the interambulacral zones at the ambitus. The ambulacra are apetaloid, with microscopic pore pairs. Ambulacrum III lies in a shallow groove sub-ambitally and the peristome faces slightly towards the anterior. Plastron plating is meridosternous (cf. Solovjev 1971: fig. 30a). The apical disc is exocyclic and the periproct marginal (Solovjev 1971: fig. 30a). A small number of catenal plates may occur between the trivium and bivium.
