Description
Original diagnose after Duffin, 1981 p. 470 [4823]: Myriacanthid holocephalan spine showing little lateral compression and a flat posterior wall. Lateral walls ornamented by tubercles. Posterior wall ornamented by a series of four large, strongly curved denticles, located in the midline and pointing downwards. In comparison to other hotocephalan spines, the spine of this genus is quite strongly recurved, especially distally.
