Emended diagnosis.
Glabella strongly convex, parallel sided; median anterior border inflated; glabella touches border; S1–S3 developed (possibly S4?); L1–L3 developed (possibly L4?); S1 and S2 deep, almost parallel to one another; L1 short; S3 (S4?) short. Pygidium with 11 axial rings, 5–6 pleural ribs; nodular ornament on pygidial axis.
Remarks.
Specimens of
Bollandia
?
queenslandica
are very small and poorly preserved. They are difficult to place into a genus. The species is tentatively kept within the genus
Bollandia
due to a highly arched glabella, a vertical anterior border, and strongly arched pygidium (based on the diagnosis by Hahn
et al.
1984).
