Reviewer 3 Report
In the manuscript the description of a extint new species and genus are given. The new finding surely are interesting. My main concern is about the dating of the fossil, since the age of the strata is not given for sure (rows 76-79), thus one can suppose that the age of this group cannot be assessed with certainty at present. Perhaps authors should thoroughly discuss the issue.
Furthermore, the names of the anatomical parts are too small in fig 2, thus they must be enlarged.
The description gave enough details, and the proposed taxonomic position of the species seems correct.
