Lophophaenidae
Two segemented plagiacanthids with well developed cephalis and thorax, and generally some external expression of primary spicules - either as lateral external spines or prolonged in thorax as ribs/feet. Cephalis generally relatively large, thorax termination irregular and lacking any special structures.
