| Z. Gai et al. 2018 | Large-sized head-shield about 225–235 mm in length, and 165–175 mm in
width; rostral process rod-like; median dorsal openings and sensory canal system unclear; orbital opening small, and probably located on the dorsolateral margin of head-shield; lateral margin of the head-shield smooth; ventral rim of head-shield remarkably broad, 25–40 mm in width from caudally to rostrally, approximately one-fourth the width of the entire head-shield; ornamentation composed of coarse-granular tubercles. |
