Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| H. W. Rasmussen 1950 | A Metopaster whose sides are concave, and whose marginals have a breadth, which is less than both the length, and the height. The narrow ultimate superomarginal attains its greatest height in a powerful swelling near the distal end. The ornament consits of scattered granule-pits. |
