Description Entire description: "Parahigginsia sp. showed a golden to brown mass measured 10 cm in height and 25 cm in breath with the lamella 8 mm in thickness. The surface was rough, and the consistency was firm. The interior was brown with spicules inside the tissue. The main skeleton is lax and irregular, composed of loose, wisp, and stout oxea, which run toward the surface, from which they may project in loose radiate tufts of usually more slender spicules. The spicules include slightly curved oxea with a size range of 1050-1120 × 4-35 μm, acanthoxea 320-420 × 4-17 μm, small oxea 56-175 × 3-5 μm, and an asterose microsclere 12-20 μm."

(Chen et al. 1999) [details]Holotype The first author of the publication first mentioning P. sheni answered an email from Christine Schönberg in Feb 2024. According to him, the whereabouts of the voucher are unknown, but it is most likely that it was thrown out when the second author retired and a new professor took over. [details] |
