Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Mazaganella): Three-shielded placoliths with a wide central-area spanned by a variety of bars, grills, nets or plates. The distal shield may be high and flaring. The distal shield is formed from non-imbricating elements, joined along radial sutures. LM image is generally dark, but birefringence increases when the distal shield is high.
This taxon: Mazaganella with three low, adpresssed shields and a central area spanned by a cruciform plate bearing a short hollow spine.
