Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
H. Soot-Ryen 1960Carapace convex, nearly equilateral, umbo bluntly pointed, sllghtly turned backwards. Anterior margin rounded, ventral margin cvenly convex, posterior margin ncarly straight, posteroventral corner distinct, and posterodorsal margin straight. Posterior part broader than the anterior part but slightly longer. Anterior and posterior clavicles strong, the anterior one curved, continuing in a shallower, nearly horizontal slight ridge which forms a low connection between the two clavicles, the posterior clavicles straighter and broadest dorsally, bordered posteriorly by a sulcus separating the clavicle from a ridge which is extended to the middle of the posterior margin and there divided into two ridges by a median sulcus. These sulci and ridges are naturally reversed on the east.
J. Pojeta and B. Runnegar 1976Elongate Ischyrinia lacking a posterior carina.
