This genus is allied to Ilqjpoglossoides., differing in the presence of 

 canine teeth, -l in the front of the lower jaw and some above. Eyes 

 dextral. The genus has never been defined, and in a later paper, 

 Schmidt merges it in HijJj^oglossoides, from whicli it is apparently 

 separable by its dentition and by the long low curve of the lateral line, 

 which is however not properly arched.
