 Description:
A member of the Order Corynexochida, Family Styginidae from the
Middle Devonian deposits of Jebel Issoumour, Morocco, this is a
member of the genus Metascutellum. The pustulose nature distinguishes
it from most other scutellids with the exception of some in the
genus Scutellum. This one most closely resembles Metascutellum
pustulatum, but that species typically does not display the fine
axial and occipital spines seen here. Consequently, this one is
either an as yet undescribed subspecies or a new species altogether. |
