Diagnosis
Reference | Diagnosis | |
---|---|---|
B. A. Toro and J. Maletz 2008 | Subhorizontal, 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. 2020 | Slender, 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). |
