e. Pygidium with second and third pairs of lobes subequal to 

 or narrower than median pair; median pair of lobes short 

 and broad, lateral margin long, oblique, rounded, entire; 

 second and third pairs of lobes similar, faintly notched; 

 pectinae short, distapectinae, arranged 2, 2, 2, 5, those of 

 each lateris arranged 2-1-1-1; each lateris with about six 

 tooth-like projections; paraphyses variable in length, first, 

 third, fourth, sixth, seventh, and ninth subequal in length, 

 shorter than second, fifth, and eighth, fifth longest, second
