Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. Basse and U. Lemke 2020(holaspides 4 mm in length): Cyrtosymbolinae with following diagnostically relevant characters: Anterior border weakly ledge- like. Anterior border furrow short (sag.), sharp, weakly bent backwards distally. Preglabellar field length is little less than anterior border length (sag.). Glabella width is ≈ 0.7 times of glabella length. Glabella moderately (sag.) to strongly (tr.) vaulted, projectile- like in outline, its anterior margin pointed mesially, outer margin very weakly incised opposite γ and always converging forwards. S1 weakly incised, S2 less. S0 and axial furrow sharp, narrow, not fusing. L0 weakly indicated. Fixigenae distinctly separated from glabella, very wide (tr.), shortest opposite γ but here wider than occipital ring long (sag.). β opposite anterior margin of glabella. γ tightly rounded, fused with δ and ζ opposite ≈ midst of glabella. Posterior border furrow running diagonally, throughout sharp, not meeting S0. Posterior border shortest (exs.) proximally. Dorsal exoskeleton smooth.
