Comments: I'm not exactly certain what species this bug is.. I bought it as a Latus.. but on examination, it has a much more bulbous, protruding "nose" than any other Latus (or other Asaphid) that I've seen. Possibly a NEW Species? Or just a species variation? I don't think that the Russian preparators had any idea either.. there are about 4 names scratched on the underside of the matrix. I have no clue... but it's different!
