At the posterior of the body, the pleurae were fused into a flattened tail-like segment, or pygidium. |
|
As noted above, it closely resembles the syntype pygidium of E. acadicus, and is tentatively assigned to that species. |
|
Agnostids have only two or three segments between the cephalon and pygidium. |
|
The pygidium is complete and has a short axis that has a well-defined axial ring. |
|
A pygidium with an attached thoracic segment represents a meraspid stage of the species. |
|
The pygidium, like the cephalon, was a structure in which segments were fused together. |
|
Members of the Agnostina have only two segments between the cephalon and pygidium, and never have cephalic sutures. |
|
The post-segmental posterior terminus is called the pygidium. |
|
Unlike the agnostids, polymerid trilobites typically have more than two or three thoracic segments, and the pygidium is usually smaller than the cephalon. |
|
Longacre emphasized unequally divided pleurae on the pygidium and the presence of an occipital spine as characters separating Calvinella from other dikelocephalids. |
|
The pygidium is semi-elliptical in outline, nearly as long as wide, with the anterior margin forwardly arched. |
|
The structures such as genitalia, antenna, abdominal segments IX-X, and pygidium were placed on glycerin mounts. |
|
The pygidium of the male appears straight downwards from above. |
|
The shell-boring polychaete species were identified on the basis of fifth setiger chaetae, prostomium and pygidium morphology, and branchiae distribution. |
