Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| L. Villier et al. 2004 | Marginal plates convex in profile. External face of the inferomarginal plates covered by fine, dense and contiguous granule pits (30–40 per square mm). External face of superomarginal plates covered by dense small tubercles. Intermarginal face flat. External face bordered with an oblique, depressed rim on distal side. Interradial marginal plates broad, with concave lateral faces oriented under a convergent angle towards the outside of the body. Marginal plates of arms are less broad with lateral faces parallel. Faces of articulation with ventral plates represent two-thirds of the plate height. |
