A rare trilobite collected alongside Richterops falloti at the Tazemmourt locality. It differs from R. falloti in having shorter pygidial spines and a bilobed pygidium. This fine specimen is significantly larger than the first we have seen. The trilobite has been carefully prepared so that it appears raised above the matrix.
