Diagnoza

Platform of P₁ elements with sharp ridge or a row of tubercles along its anterior margin.

Porównanie

P₁ elements are flat and sinous in appearance. They vary much in development of the posterior pointed lobe. In early populations the posterior lobe is sharply pointed and elongate, whereas in later populations it may be virtually missing.

The P₂ elements bear a minute cusp and denticles in proximity of it are lower than others. The processes meet at an angle in the plane of the platform, which results in its boomerang-like shape. Width and ornamentation of the platform vary and extremely smooth, wide-platform elements resemble somewhat elements of Conditolepis.

The symmetry transistion series elements differ from those of P. schindewolfi in a more generalized appearance, that is, in usual domination of the cusp, sharp denticulation and their less sinuous arrangement. Otherwise they are similar to those of other Palmatolepis species.
