Notes
: These specimens are topotypical. The scanning electron micrograph (
Fig. 22
) shows many details not seen using optical microscopes and not reported in the original description (
Shear 1971
).
Figure 22
illustrates, in posterior view, the anterior (
ag
) and posterior (
pg
) gonopods. The ventral part of the T-shaped branch (
T
) of the posterior gonopod coxite is evidently absent, so the coxite somewhat resembles those of species of
Bifurcatella
,
n. gen.
, but the anterior gonopod does not. For the time being, this species is better accommodated in
Taiyutyla
.
Note the secretion (
sec
) emerging from a pore in the anterior gonopod.
