Diagnoza

External processes in the symmetry transition series and the ne elements reduced, with very small denticles.

Porównanie

The species is extremely rare in Mójcza and little can be added to the reconstruction of its apparatus in DZIK (1976). In the course of the evolution of the Periodon lineage non-inner processes in the elements of the symmetry transition series gradually disappeared (see D ZIK 1976,
1983; STOUGEand BAGNOLI 1988). This can be recognized also within the chronospecies P. aculeatus,
in its present mening. Early forms (see DZIK 1976; LOFGREN 1978) have rudimentary processes of tr
and pI elements more prominently denticulated.
