Description
Apparatus of type species unknown but apparently including an array of nongeniculate, dominantly hyaline, coniform elements with more or less circular cross section, small base, shallow basal cavity, and proclined to recurved cusp, sides of cusp in most species with numerous lateral costae arranged symmetrically or asymmetrically. [No find of the type species of the genus has been reported since PANDER'S time and, as discussed by LINDSTROM (I 971), there are problems in interpreting the morphology of this species; however, it seems obvious that 5. sttblaevis is morphologically close to, and congeneric with, the well-known species 5. rex LINDSTROM, 1955.]
