341:, is strongly divided by two deep furrows that merge when crossing the midline. The large and inflated anterior lobe is isolated from border furrow. Behind it is a pair of small, separated, subtriangular lobes. The posterior part of the glabella is large and carries an inflated spine that is directed upwards and backwards. Genal spines are present. The axis of the pygidium (or rhachis) has nine rings that are strongly inflated, with the second ring carrying a vertical spine. The border surrounding the pygidium is defined by a deep furrow, is narrow, and lacks spines. 108: 640: 254:
