Griffithides, Portlock, 1883.—Outline oblong oval; glabella pyriform, gibbous in front, destitute of lateral furrows; basal lobes inflated; cervical lobe broad; eyes small, lunate, smooth; axial furrow clearly defined, outline of free cheek broadly triangular, outer posterior angle sometimes produced into a cheek spine. Thorax with nine segments; pygidium rounded, composed of from ten to thirteen coalesced somites.
1 There is reason to conclude that one of these spines existed when Portlock wrote his description, although it is only now indicated by a fragment and by the scar where it once rested.
2 The extremity is injured, so that the exact number cannot now be ascertained.
