External morphology

Small processes on dorsal region. Size 25 mm X 21.5 mm

The exact structure of this occlupanid’s oral groove is conjecture, as the holotype specimen has sustained trauma to the central dential process. Using reconstructive techniques, scholars of occlupanology have hypothesized that it possesses a small oral groove much like that of Chiasmogramma vercepa. Field researchers are hopeful a complete specimen will be found. Host data unknown. Discovered and described by C. Huning (DWORC)
