In some of the smaller and younger speci-mens the smaller lobes are not distinct, andseem to be fused, but in general character theyresemble the type as described. This species differs from Janirella nanseniBonnier in having the lateral processes widerand more rounded like lobes than spine-like asin that species, in having the base of the ros-trum not dilated as in that species, in having two spines on all thethoracic segments and not one on the first and three on the second,third, and fourth as in that Fig. —Janirella loba-ta.
