Description Medium, moderately robust. Sub-ovate to sub-rectangular in lateral view. Anterior margin symmetrically rounded. Posterior narrower convex with postero-dorsal convavity in RV only. Both margins denticulate. Dorsal margin straight in LV with spinose cardinal angles, the posterior one being much larger than the anterior. Ventral margin convex to slightly sinuous. Reticulum of moderate relief. Ventrolateral ridge moderately strong - approximately three spines at its posterior termination; extending anteriorly into a narrower ocular ridge which parallels the anterior margin. Dorsal ridge weak, spinose. Dorsal element of rectangular bridge strong, other elements weaker. Remainder of reticulum moderately strong with numerous elements rather irregu- lar in posterior half. Muri narrow, bounding fossae crossed by few secondary muri. Wellformed eye tubercle and ocular sinus. Internal details as for the genus with approximately 20 radial pore canals anteriorly. [details]

Description Medium, moderately robust. Sub-ovate to sub-rectangular in lateral view. Anterior margin symmetrically rounded. Posterior narrower convex with postero-dorsal convavity in RV only.

[details]Diagnosis A medium, moderately robust, elongately sub-ovate to sub-rectangular species of Bradleya. Reticulum an irregular meshwork of low but sharply defined muri bounding numerous small fossae. [details]
