[Neave gives 1898 for this paper, but there is no internal evidence to conclusive suggest this date rather than 1897; the fascicule wrappers carry only 1897, so we must date it from 31–XII–1897], 58(7–12), 229–298.

Origins, evidence & remaining research

Name authority and publication references document nomenclature where the source supplies it. They do not establish evolutionary origins or the earliest fossil occurrence.

Specimen-level evidence, morphology, ecological research, phylogenetic studies, a comprehensive bibliography and a located literary passage have not yet been compiled for this record. A suitable sourced image remains to be added.
