Remarks.
The shape of the capitulum of the
holotype
could not be ascertained in the original description (Smit
et al.
2009), and therefore the species was not assigned to a subgenus. The specimen reported here 1037 long and 632 wide, due to a relative short capitulum (
Fig. 1
), and the presence of nine pairs of acetabula, it is assigned to the subgenus
Hansvietsia
.
