This is a rare trilobite that was collected with Richterops falloti at the Tazemmourt locality. It differs from the latter in that 1. the pygidial spines are shorter and 2. the pygidium is bilobed. An excellent specimen, the only one that we have seen. The trilobite has been prepared so that it appears raised against the matrix.
