Glabella high, ex- panding anteriorly; posterior end one-eighth total cephalic width, maximum width at inner fringe margin one third total cephalic width, anterior one-fourth overhangs fringe. Only S1 present as small lateral notch at about one-eighth total glabellar length. Occipital furrow present, ring shows occipital spine base and/ or spine in only a very few specimens (e.g., MCZ 2244, not figured).
