Description:
The anterolateral spines of this organism are typically longer than the anterointermediate spines, while the anteromedian and anterolateral spines diverge laterally. Two posterior spines are usually present. The lorica exhibits a stippled texture, giving it a pustulate appearance. In terms of dimensions, the lorica ranges from 188 to 418 µm in length, while the posterolateral spine measures between 20 and 156 µm, the anterolateral spine between 17 and 49 µm, and the anteromedian dorsal spine between 21 and 72 µm. The width of the lorica varies from 115 to 265 µm, and the distance between anterolateral spines ranges from 98 to 200 µm.
