External morphology

Sharp lateral processes and an aboral indentation. Size 33.6 mm X 24.4 mm

This distinctive and wide-grooved corrugatid was collected on the pavement in Northeast Minneapolis by amateur occlupanologist L. Thron. It is notable in having vestigial palps, instead of the larger asymmetrical palps favored by others in this family. Species named in honor of an exceptional feline companion.
