 T. kulala Evans (Text-fig. 187). 

 The armature of kulala resembles that of rosacea except that the subunci are rather 

 less robust and the valves narrower with the apex not bent back. T. kulala is 

 certainly a distinct species, easily separated by the pattern of the underside. 



Group II : Virgae excitatae absent, tectorius poorly developed.

Group III : Virgae excitatae fused to the upper process of the valve (theophrastus) 

 or absent (ungemachi) ; tectorius well developed.
