Remarks
—
Cook (1986)
stated that “it would not surprise me to have one or no pairs of glandularia incorporated into the anterior dorsal plate and either one, two or three on the posterior plate”. Indeed, the female from the Upper Minnamurra River has the posterior dorsal plate with one pair of glandularia incorporated.
Distribution
