Type. “ Lower ” dental plates, shown in PI. VI. figs. 19, 20. 
A comparatively small species, the maximum transverse measure¬ 
ment of the supposed lower posterior dental plate being about 0‘014. 
Anterior coronal elevation extending from the outer to the inner 
margin, broad, rounded, but having a hump-backed appearance 
when worn, gradually passing into the narrow postero-lateral 
flattened portion of the plate, and immediately adjoining the antero¬ 
lateral margin ; inner margin strongly curved throughout the greater 
portion of its length, the rounded elevation projecting. Transverse 
ridges and furrows of the dental crown narrow, feebly marked. 
The opposing dental plates of this species are not yet certainly 
recognizable; it seems likely that they are confounded with the 
supposed upper dental plates of Deltoptychius gibberulus.

20575 b, P. 5859. Type specimens, readily distinguished from the 
corresponding dental plates of D. sublcevis by their narrow¬ 
ness and the prominence, obliquity, and sharply-bent worn 
surface of the rounded coronal elevation.
