Type material Hooper (2002: 488) synonymized the genus with Eurypon, despite the absence of echinating acanthostyles, typically present in Eurypon. and diactinal ectosomal megascleres, wheras Eurypon predominantly has ectosomal styles. Reexamination of the type material of Dragmatyle lictor is necessary to confirm the subjective synonymy decision. [details]
