It has a short and wide sulcus that is continuous on a sulcus minor completely surrounding the mond. The latter have a rhomboid-shape and is located in a central position. The mond shows a projection directed towards the lower edge (Fig. 3a). Asteriscus: Auricular otolith, elongated in its supero-inferior axis, its edges are smooth. In the leading edge the excisura is not observed. The fossa acustica has a central position; it is wide and long, exceeding the average axis otolith. The crista and canaliculum are narrow and both of them of full path (Fig. 3b). Sagitta: Claviform otolith with the anterior region rectangular, the basal wings poorly developed and one of them forming a well-developed process. Only one of the dorsal wings is clearly visible and occupies the central region of the otolith, so that the fissura is displaced laterally, describing a sinuous path (Fig. 3c).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/981587A7EB24E33CFCD1FDBDACB8FB7F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It has a wide and long sulcus and a large and complete sulcus minor that surrounds the mond. The mond is large, central, and more or less square-shaped, with a projection toward the upper end of the otolith separating the sulcus from the sulcus minor (Fig. 4a). Asteriscus: Elongated otolith in its supero-inferior axis, auricular-shaped, and with smooth edges. The excisura is not observed. The fossa acustica, of central position, is wide and markedly exceeds the average otolith axis, approaching the trailing edge. The crista is narrow and so is the canaliculum and it is of full path (Fig. 4b). Sagitta: Claviform otolith. It has a fusiform anterior region. The basal wings are more developed. The only dorsal wing remains undeveloped, and limits with a shallow, wide and winding fissura (Fig. 4c).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/981587A7EB25E33DFF43FC4DAAAAFB6E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The mond is oval, of central position, and slightly exceeds the anterior edge of the otolith (Fig. 7a). Asteriscus: Elongated otolith in its superoinferior axis; its general shape is piriform with wavy edges. In the front edge there is an excisura that defines an obvious rostrum and antirrostrun. The fossa acustica is wide and long, exceeding the median axis of the otolith. It has a broad crista and a narrow canaliculum, both of full path (Fig. 7b). Sagitta: Claviform otolith; its anterior region is rhomboid due to further expansion of the basal wings.
