Cephalodella cf praelonga, an eyeless morphotype with very elongate body; medium (??short??) toes (total length vs toe length = 5.1). (1) |

Cephalodella cf praelonga, focal plane on the corona. (1) |

|
Cephalodella cf praelonga, toes with "claws" that are similiar to the claws of Lecane-species like L. quadridentata or L. cornuta. This is a trait that is not described for any Cephalodella-species to my knowledge. (1) |

|
Cephalodella megalocephala, virgate trophi; trophi type: A; dorsolateral views. Left: focus plane on incus; rami with alulae; right: focus plane on the manubria. (1) |
|
C. praelonga has similarities with C acrobeles (according to Myers (1934)), but for both species no drawings of the trophi ("type A") are available. The same is true for C. asarcia, which has a different corona (according to Myers (1934)). |
