Holotype USNM 22438, geounit Floridian [details]
From editor or global species database
Classification The species was described as having strongyles and sigmas, but in a slide studied by Van Soest & Stentoft (1988) these spicules were rare and not clearly separated from the mass of foreign spicules and sand grains making up the skeleton. The identity of this specimen conforms to the Keratose genus Hyrtios and possibly to the type species H. proteus. However, this synonymy was not published, as Van Soest & Stentoft provided the identity as Hyrtios ? psellus, in a table without further notes or explanation. The species remains a taxon inquirendum. [details]
