Aside from the absence of the supplementary oral plate, this species shows well 

 the characters of the genus. So far as the few known specimens show, the supple- 

 mentary plates are never clearly marked, but in both of the specimens in the 

 M. C. Z. collection the oral shields bulge out on their distal margin into the inter- 

 brachial areas, and in one area of the larger specimen (Lyman's type) there is a 

 small supplementary plate.
