Taxon description

Wisshak et al., 2019a

Microboring; substrate calcareous; tracemaker invertebrate?

Wisshak, 2017

Emended diagnosis. Oblique inlet gallery leading to a wide, convex-arched and elongated main cavity in the centre of the trace, from which galleries emerge and sharply taper towards the periphery and towards the substrate surface, forming numerous fine connections. Surface texture smooth, except for inlet tunnel, which may bear short and spiny protrusions.

Hofmann, 1996

Diagnose : Roseltenartiges llohrgangsystem in konvex-gewolbter Form mil starkem Gang im zenlralcn Bereich, von dem aus dunner wcrdende Gange in die pcripheren Roscllcnbereiche abzwnigen.

Diagnosis: Rosette-like tubular canal system in convex-arched form with a strong canal in the central area, from which thinner canals branch off into the peripheral rosette areas.
