Zealeuctra hitei Ricker & Ross 1969

Male - abdominal tergal cleft. Anterior portion nearly identical to Zealeuctra claasseni, with slight inward medial swelling but no apparent crenulations along inner margins (Fig. 5A). Posterior portion slightly more U-shaped with paired medially-projected processes, the terminal projection larger, convex, and thumb-like, the subterminal projection smaller and subtriangular. Male - epiproct. Base slender and triangular, narrowing to anteriorly-recurved and tapering terminal spine, no accessory spine present (Fig. 5B). A small “step” (sensu Ricker and Ross 1969) demarks the base from the tapering spine. No accessory spine or cusp present. Female - 7th sternum. Seventh sternum with a small, subtriangular lobe nested in a scarcely-concave central notch (Fig. 5C). Posterior margin essentially straight.
