The hypostome in E.polymera are similar in basic
morphology to that of B.dailyi. In B.dailyi the anterior
wings are more prominent.
This is a rare occasion (pictured below) of
a disarticulated specimen of Balcoracania dailyi with a well
defined hypostome. All the hard body components have stayed
together: both genal spines are present above cephalon,
thoraxial segments are intact showing well preserved
macropleural spines, and the tip of the opisthothorax is
placed by the end of the macropleural spine, with the rare
occasion of a well preserved hypostome situated by the left
thoraxial segments. This specimen would be approximately
14mm in overall length.
