Taxonomy:

Citation: Tetrapodorhabdus Black, 1971
Taxonomic rank: genus
Type species: Tetrapodorhabdus coptensis Black, 1971.

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Axopodorhabdaceae): Regular placoliths; central-area, with cross-bars or perforated plate; often with tall, hollow spines.
Distal shield elements non-imbricate V-units; proximal shield and inner cycle formed from R-units. Rim often appears beaded in LM

This taxon: Elliptical; central area with diagonal cross or offset crossbars bars, supporting hollow spine
