Description
Summary:FIGURE 27. Rhabdocalyptus mirabilis Schulze, body and surfaces. A. Specimen in situ before collection (laser spacing 10 cm). B. Two sides of main specimen after drying. C. Margin and associated prostal diactins and pentactin veil. D. Lateral body surface in profile with low conules supporting pentactins of veil; note absence of prostal diactins. E. Closer view of submarginal exterior spicules with several extreme paratropal pentactins. F. Lateral dermal surface showing apertures of inhalant canals and surface conules as small stellate figures. G. Closer view of dermal surface showing extremely fine, irregular dermal lattice between three conules. H. Atrial surface showing apertures of exhalant canals covered by loose spicule lattice. I. Closer view of atrial surface showing regular hexactin mesh with protruding distal rays. All from USNM# 1196563.
