Description Shape sub-rectangular; anterior end obliquely rounded in LV and more evenly rounded in RV. Ventral outline slightly convex; dorsal outline more or less straight with an obvious angle in the LV above the eye tubercle. Dorsal outline interrupted by 4-5 tiny spines. LV with a well-developed spine at the posterior cardinal angle. Posterior outline rounded in the lower two thirds and angular in the upper third. Anterior ornamented with approx. 18 tiny spines in the lower two thirds of the total height, whereas the posterior end shows lOII partially longer spines. Dorsal ridge well developed, sloping from the posterior cardinal angle towards the anterior, slightly in front and above the central muscle scar area. Ventral ridge thick, with a strong terminal posterior spine and a secondary spine behind. The ventral ridge curves into an almost suppressed ocular ridge that runs parallel to the anterior outline and up to the well-devel. [details]
Diagnosis A medium-sized Bradleya species, showing unique micro-perforation and punctuations as secondary reticulation inside of the primary reticulation. [details]
