Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
B. A. Toro and J. Maletz 2008Subhorizontal, declined to slightly deflexed expansograptids with prosicular
origin of th 1(1) and isograptid or artus type proximal development, either dextral or sinistral; thecae simple or with variably developed prothecal folds; crossing canals often slightly asymmetrical; position of crossing canals relatively high on sicula, producing a deep indention between sicula and th 1(1) and a long, free
ventral side of the sicula; isograptid suture lacking.
G. A. Lo Valvo et al. 2020Slender, horizontal to subhorizontal or declined tubarium; thecae simple with a
moderate inclination and some species with prothecal folds; sicula relatively long and slender, with small prosicula; supradorsal portion of sicula prominent and with long free ventral side of the aperture; proximal development type isograptid, dextral to artus type, dextral or sinistral; low prosicular origin of th1(1).
