Description Small heavily calcified. Sub-rectangular. Anterior braodly and asymmetrically convex denticulate; extremity below mid-height. Posterior convex to truncate with approximately six to eight short denticles. Dorsal margin straight in RV, concave in LV with anterior hinge ear and short postero-dorsal spine. Ventral margin straight to convex with slight oral concavity. Maximum length below mid-height, maximum height at anterior cardinal angle; maximum width in posterior third. Coarsely reticulate. Ventro-Iateral ridge strong, continuous around anterior margin into ocular ridge without sig nificant decrease in width or relief. Dorsal ridge strong, non-spinose. Bridge sub-rectangular with rather irregular dorsal and ventral marginal muri. Remainder of reticulum with relatively few bold, rounded muri, bounding large, open, moderately shallow fossae. Muri of equal horizontal and vertical emphasis with a few, generally horizontal, secondary muri. Fossae rectangular in postero-median reticular field with characteristic quadrangular pattern of the group. Normal pore canals distribution and internal features as for the genus with some 10 marginal pore canals anteriorly. Median element of hinge in RV in locellate groove, posterior tooth bilobed.

[details]Diagnosis A small, heavily-calcified species of Bradleya with a robust and well developed reticulum. Ventro-Iateral and ocular ridges of almost equal relief and strength. Dorsal ridge nonspinose. Bridge irregularly sub-rectangular. Muri bold and rounded of moderately high relief bounding shallow sub-rectangular fossae. Secondary muri generally horizontal. Median element of hinge crenulate. Approximately 10 marginal pore canals anteriorly. [details]
