Discussion.
A single cranidium differs from the co-occurring species
D. heimbergi
(cf. Pl. 21, fig. 22 with Pl. 23, fig. 1) by being broader, less strongly vaulted (tr., sag.) both axially and from less strongly downturned fixigenae; in possessing considerably finer, denser tuberculate sculpture; narrower interocular fixigenae; narrower palpebral lobes; a more parallel-sided, not forwardly-expanding, glabella that is broader at the base and has a larger, more transversely oriented L1, and a slightly smaller L3 and shallower S3; slightly shorter SO; longer, wider, more effaced LO; longer (especially adaxially) and a less tuberculate posterior border.
Deltapliomera heimbergi
occurs separately from
Deltapliomera
n. sp. A at H 166.2 m and at H 173.2 m.
