Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| J. Maletz et al. 2009 | The crown-clade Tetragrapta is the common
ancestor of Tetragraptus serra and the first species to have distal dicalycal thecae limited to th31 and th32, forming a quadriramous rhabdosome (synapomorphy 6, Fig. 2; see also Fig. 4B). | |
| B. A. Toro et al. 2020 | Phyllograptid with four horizontal to reclined, reflexed and scandent stipes; proximal end isograptid, dextral, with wide crossing canals and tetragraptid proximal end; theca with considerable overlap and moderate development of rutellum. | |
| G. A. Lo Valvo et al. 2020 | Phyllograptid with four horizontal to reclined, reflexed and scandent stipes; proximal end isograptid, dextral, with wide-crossing canals and tetragraptid proximal end; thecae with considerable overlap and moderate development of rutellum. |
