Diagnoza

These conodonts show, like coeval Mestognathus, axial symmetry of their sp elements being differentiated not only in the wider basal cavities but probably also in a more derived apparatus structure. This has been recognised in other species of Cavus Snathzs by Von Bitter & Plint (1987), Rexroad & Horowitz (1990), and Purnell (1992). In the Polish species, which is probably related to C. unicornis Youngquist & Miller. 1949 despite having a much narrower platform, associated finely denticulated ramiform elements with short processes may represent the same apparatus.
