Remarks
- Systematics: Lecanodiaspis zygophylli is very close to L. africana but differs in a number of rather subtle characters (contrasting condition in L. africana in brackets), perhaps the most obvious being that L. zygophylli has cribriform plates in four rows (in 2 rows) and the 8-shaped pores on the dorsum are of two sizes distributed in a specific pattern (only one size, more or less randomly distributed). Whilst this specimen is considered to be L. zygophylli
