Lamsdell 2021Eye tubercles each with two lenses; semicircular alae adjacent to posterior glabellar lobes; bilamellar fringe with opposed pits in outer surfaces, genal rolls steeply sloping, brim gently sloping, with stout girder on lower lamella separating these two parts, flattened prolongations of fringe varying in length; cephalic suture skirts marginal band of fringe. Hypostome pear-shaped in outline, with ovate middle body, large anterior, small posterior, and wings. Thorax with 12–29 segments, pleurae bent down ventrally at tips. Pygidium small, short (sag.), triangular, with few segments. External surface of glabella and genae with raised ridges in reticulate pattern, tuberculate, or smooth; minute tubercles on fringe between pits and marginal band, on internal rim, and elsewhere (modified from Fortey & Owens 1997).
