Diagnoza

Possible M elements with erect cusp, bases of most elements with irregularly eye drop contour.

Porównanie

Sample Ost-265 offers enough material to allow identification of discrete element types and their homology with those of the stratigraphically older J. oistodiformis. Probable P₁ elements bear wide sharp ridges and have a characteristic outline of the base, acutely narrowing at ends and swollen in the middle but with one side strongly depressed. Such a depression is present in the outline of the otherwise rounded base of rather gracile probable P₂ elements. Elements of the symmetry transition series are similar to those of J. oistodiformis except for being somewhat more robust; probable M elements are less inclined.

From the other species of the genus, J. erectus differs in the shape of possible M elements and the wide cusp of probable P₂ elements. Their basal cavity is relatively shallow and wide. P elements show also a characteristic external extension of the base.
