fuerchtegottDescription
It's quite similar to T. rathkii. They can be distinguished by the location of the pore fields. While they are close to the margin of the tergites in T.rathkii, they are separated from the margin 2-4x their diameter in T. nodulosus (on pereionites 2-4). The pores are triangular.
Also, according to Schmidt 1997, in T. nodulosus the lateral cephalon lobes surpass the median lobe, while they are of equal length in T. rathkii.
