Thysanocardia catharinae
(
Grübe, 1868
)
Phascolosoma catherinae
Fritz Müller
(?).– ten Broeke, 1925:83–84.
Remarks.
Members of this genus have a uniform longitudinal muscle layer, two retractor muscles, and contractile vessel villi.
T. catherinae
has a single, narrow nuchal organ and a lightly pigmented tentacular crown.
Distribution.
ten Broeke (1925) reported
Phascolosoma catherinae
as being collected on
Porites
from Spaansche Water, but erroneously attributed this species to Fritz Müller and did not reference his work.
Grübe (1868)
actually described this species.
