Material.
Pygidium from Hwe Maung Beds (uppermost Katian) at Hwe Maung,
Fig. 14.9
(
Reed, 1915
, pl. 7, fig. 8),
GSI
11539; cranidium from Upper Naungkangyi Beds at Man Ngai,
Fig. 14.10
(
Reed, 1915
, pl. 7, fig. 9),
GSI
11540.
Remarks.
These two sclerites may not belong to the same species. The internal mould of the cranidium shows evidence of carrying raised transverse ridges anteriorly which may have been strong on the dorsal surface. The same feature is seen on
Illaenus
sp. 3
from
Yunnan
, but not enough is known of either species to prove they are the same species.
