Type specimens
Descriptions and remarks
Diagnosis. Boring with chamber diameters of 1.8–2.7mm and total depths of 1.2–1.9mm. Apertures are wide relative to other boring types. Borings are shallow, the main chamber sitting just below the surface of the bone, with a short aperture neck. The centre of radial symmetry sits at the top of the chamber. Branches are wavy, thin, and long relative to the chamber, though they can be of irregular length. Overall chamber shape is approximately hemispherical, with an arc length generally close to 180 degrees.
