, pl. 18 fig. 9.
Type
locality:
[
Fiji
] “
Koro Isl.
, Viti
Isles
”
.
Label:
“Koro (
Fidji
)”; see remarks.
Dimensions:
“Length 53 mill.; diam., 18 mill.”; figured specimen herein H 47.7, D 18.4,
W 5.1
.
Type material:
MHNG-INVE-64767, three probable
paralectotypes
(ex Garrett).
Remarks:
Garrett did not state on how many specimens his description was based, but said type material was in “Coll. Garrett and Phila. Acad.”. The latter is ANSP 8397 (
lectotype
) and 450748 (
five paralectotypes
). From the lot in
Geneva
only a modern label exists, stating the material originates from Garrett. It is therefore considered as probable type material.
Current systematic position:
Bothriembryontidae
,
Euplacostylus koroensis
(
Garrett, 1872
)
.
