Guguita2104 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I try to find the differences between them, but I can't. Can someone explain me? Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triceratops Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I think its a matter of perspective, whether you think the species ouzregui is in one genus or the other. 1 -Lyall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I think they moved it from Flexy to Dia not too long ago, didn't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 They are the same thing. I believe Flexicalymene is still the correct genus. If I recall correctly, some dealers started calling it "Diacalymene" but there has not been a published revision of the species that assigns it to that genus. Piranha would know for certain.

piranha Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Here is a sample of some species of Flexicalymene and Diacalymene illustrating two of the divergant key features. Diacalymene possesses an anterior cephalic "ridge" and the medial glabellar lobes contact the fixigenal buttresses. Flexicalymene from Morocco is often misrepresented online and by various other 'credible' sources as Calymene and Diacalymene. Flexicalymene and Diacalymene did coexist in some selected Ordovician faunas, as did Calymene and Diacalymene in the Silurian, although Diacalymene has never been described as valid genus from Morocco. Early descriptions of 'Calymene' from Morocco have subsequently been reassigned to various other calymenid genera. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
