Median node flanked laterally by carinae which may or may not superpose elongate nodes, and which are connected by dorsal carina subparallel to and joining hinge near cardinal angles; with terminal dentition and 2 marginal rims. [Brlllius BIlAYEIl, 1952, is judged to be based on a male corresponding to female Eetodemites and accordingly classed doubtfully as synonym of AmplUssites-SCOTT.]
