Plate 6, Figs. 7A View FIGURE 7 – 9B View FIGURE 9 .
Remarks. This species is similar to Botryopera amabie n. sp. (Pl. 7, Figs. 1A View FIGURE 1 – 6 View FIGURE 6 ) except that the cephalis is proportionally shorter and narrower, compared to the thorax dimensions. On average, the cephalis height is ~33 microns, rather than the 43 micron mean of B. amabie . The shoulders on the thorax are also more distinct, and the thorax tapers more dramatically, causing the shape to be less cylindrical in outline. The overall size is smaller than in B. amabie n. sp.
Material examined. 4 specimens observed from the following samples: 321-1337A-31X-6W, 4–6cm (Middle Miocene), 321-1337D-30H- 3, 103–104cm (Middle Miocene), and 321-1337D-26H-3W, 142–144cm (Late Miocene).
Range. Middle–Late Miocene in the EEP ( Table 1 View TABLE 1 ).
