One specimen of
Liguriella podophtalma
(
Figure 5C
) was collected, but the tentacles were in poor condition. The clubs were expanded proximally, narrowing rapidly, and appeared to have a distinct carpal region of about five suckers, followed by ~15 transverse rows of four. No sucker rings remained apart from a distal cluster of about eight; these possessed two rows of large, low, circular to oval flat-faced pegs proximally and approximately five similar rows distally, with those of the inner-most row largest, and about six broad, rounded teeth along the distal margin of the infundibular ring.
