Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. Jobbins et al. 2022 | Plates with reticular ridges forming the ornamentation and raised sensory lines. The anterior edge of the pineal plate occurs anterior to the orbit. Median dorsal plate with a depression at the posterior margin. Marginal plates are in contact with central plates. Junction of the postorbital, marginal, and central plates occurs posterior to the anterior margin of the nuchal plate. The dorsal fin is longer than high with a rounded posterior margin and begins nearly to the posterior end of the median dorsal plate. Pectoral fins share the approximate length of the dorsal fin but are shorter with a broadly rounded tip. The caudal fin has a dorsal lobe longer than the ventral lobe. |
