| Notes |
Editor's comment: Burton (1937) allocated the species to Acanthella without further explanation, an action followed by Thomas (1979). The specimens described both by Burton and Thomas agree with the current definition of the original genus. [details] Specimen: M.R.A.C. no 516 A [details] | |||||||||||||||||||
