Description Small, moderately robust. Elongate, subrectangular to sub-ovate in lateral view. Anterior regularly convex in RV; asymmetrically so in LV with extremity below mid-height. Posterior distinctly convex. Both margins denticulate with large marginal spine at posteroventral angle. Dorsal margin concave, in LV with spinose anterior hinge ear and large postero-dorsal spine. Ventral margin convex to slightly sinuous. Maximum length at midheight, maximum height at anterior cardinal angle. Reticulum of moderate strength. Ventrolateral ridge of moderate relief with large spine at its posterior termination. Ocular ridge of similar relief, parallel to the anterior margin. Dorsal ridge rather weak and non spinose. Remainder of reticulum rather low. Muri rounded and strongly excavate, moderately numerous with some horizontal and vertical secondary muri. Fossae moderately deep, subquadrate to rounded. Bridge rectangular. Moderately large eye tubercle and ocular sinus. Internal features as for the genus with bilobed posterior hinge tooth in RV. [details]

[details]Diagnosis A small, moderately robust, sub-rectangular species of Bradleya with a moderately strong, labyrinthine reticulum. Dorsal margin in LV with strong spine at both anterior and posterior cardinal angles. Ventro-Iateral carina and ocular ridge of equal strength. Bridge well formed, rectangular. Muri moderately numerous, excavate and rounded. Fossae moderately deep, with few secondary muri. Well formed eye-tubercle and ocular sinus [details]
