Remarks. Bütschli (1882) was the first to name and illustrate this species. In 1887, Haeckel provided a more detailed description but no additional illustrations. The specimens we observed compare favorably with the few specimens that have been previously illustrated.

Range. Late Miocene—Late Pliocene, EEP ( Table 1 View TABLE 1 ).
