Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. R. Palmer 1954Like Olenoides but with only pleural furrows visible on the pleural platforms of the pygidium.
F. A. Sundberg 1994Dorypygidae with cranidium with medially expanded to anteriorly ex- panded glabellae, nearly effaced lateral glabellar furrows; fixigenae convex, slighrly downsloping. Pygidium wirh well-defined axis generally extend- ingroborder, 3-5 ringfurrows; pleural fieldscrossed by 3-5 generally deep pleural furrows; inrerpleural furrows very shallow ro effaced, borh anterior and posterior pleural bands uniform in widrh; border moderately defined, generally 5-7 pairs of spines of equal length, evenly spaced along margin.
