Anterior cranidial margin broadly rounded. Frontal area equal to about one-third (31%; 2734) of cranidial length. Anterior border furrow shallow; preglabellar field and anterior border subequal in length. Anteriorly rounded, subtrapezoidal glabella with strong convexity. Elongate, semielliptical pygidium, length nearly threequarters of maximum width (72%; 6975), with faint border furrow; axial furrows become effaced posteriorly in larger specimens. Axis short, occupying 75% (7478) of pygidial length; six axial rings, with three short segments incorporated into terminal piece (Pl. 7, figs 47).
