Taxonomy Previously recorded as Neopolycystis tridentata in the same area by Schilke (1970), Hoxhold (1974), Wellner and Reise (1989), and Armonies (2017). Further records from Sylt island: intertidal coarse sand (Xylander and Reise 1984), sheltered sandy beaches (Hellwig 1987), and sandy shores of salt marsh creeks (Hellwig-Armonies and Armonies 1987). Presumably, the records of N. tridentata from Belgian beaches (Jouk and Schockaert 2002) also refer to this species. However, previous records from the Sylt subtidal (Wellner and Reise 1989; Noldt 1989) all refer to individuals without trident crystals and their identity with Neopolycystis tridentata is documented by figures 34-35 in Noldt 1989 [details]
