[Glenister & Furnish, 1987, p.992]: Cyclolobidae are advanced cyclolobaceans that are characterized by extensively denticulate lobes. During phylogenesis, the prongs of the ventral lobe became strongly expanded, the number of lobes across the flanks to the umbilical shoulder increased from three pairs to twelve pairs, denticulation of the lobes extended almost to the crest of the saddles, and the sutural trace became strongly arched forward.
