Description
Macrobiotus caelicola
(Figures 4F, 5E, F)
Buccal armature consists of a posterior row (two rows in a large specimen) of quite large, rounded teeth. At the position of the lateral transverse crests, two rounded teeth occur at both dorsal and ventral locations; central transverse crest is absent. Internal surface of the anterior portion of the buccal tube has a large dorsal tooth (not cited in the original description; Kathman 1990) (Figure 4E, F). Slanting cuticular bars (between apophyses and first macroplacoid) can be observed in the pharynx.
