Nice find - nearly complete, too! Is this a G. boothi, or are the Greenops at DSR (still?) not described? The more stunted lappets seem to look like G. boothi, but that may be passing resemblance. :P

Hi Kane, referencing the BingWeb site. Karl Wilson states that what was Greenops boothi has been divided into at least two separate species. I would say all or least most of DSR finds are Greenops barberi. However I hesitate to commit to that and so I'm just calling them Greenops sp. for now. Thanks for your interest.
