Only one, incomplete, partially enrolled specimen (NM-L 4776,
Text-fig. 4a
) has been at our disposal. The preserved part of the exoskeleton is
155 mm
long; the length of complete specimen is supposed to reach about
180 mm
. The posterior part of the thorax is strongly flexed ventrally. The maximal bending of the thorax is between the 10
th
and 15
th
tergite. The right librigena is preserved in situ; the left librigena together with a part of fixigena and the anterior-most part of glabella are split off. The posterior-most part of the exoskeleton behind 15
th
tergite is not preserved. The flexed posterior part of the trunk is slightly inclined to the right. The pleural spines overlap in the flexed part of the thorax. A small rounded tumor-like neoplasm is developed at the right side of occipital ring (see
Šnajdr 1978
and
Babcock 2007
).
