Mayrocaris bucculata

by monotypy.
Original diagnosis
(literal translation from
Polz 1994
)
Carapace subtrapezoid, without a clearly delineated optic notch, however, with a pronounced subquadratic notch; ventral line from here slopping down at 45° angle, almost equally ascending from the middle of the carapace, forming, together with the lowest part of the anterior margin, a characteristic U-shaped bulge; hinge line on the whole slightly convex, terminating in a pointed spine; rostrum inconspicuous; carapace surface roughly sculptured only by a short horizontal, very delicate ridge, and by eight small bases of spines, micro-relief in the form of single, very small arched lines on an ultrafine faveolated surface; anterior lobes larger than in comparable genera, protruding from the carapace not only anteriorly, but even projecting over its antero-ventral section; abdomen segmented. Kind of large appendages not clausocarid, course of anterior carapace margin conchyliocarid.
Emended diagnosis
Thylacocephala
with a slightly developed optic notch, a serrate dorsal margin consisting of a carina, a rounded postero-dorsal spine, a posterior notch, and an anterior part of the ventral margin oriented antero-dorsally and bearing a square notch.
