dikella, Greek, a fork, referring to the shape of the posterior pygidial spines

Compared with Deiphon barrandei, this species has a relatively larger, more regularly circular glabella in dorsal view, denser tubercles, and less curved posterior pygidial spines, with the surface densely covered with coarse and fine granules in the same style as the glabella.
