, nevertheless has many features in common: shape, color in alcohol, general dimensions of the megascleres, microrhabds and aspidasters. Differences with the above-described specimen are the apparent lack of differentiation in smaller and larger oxyasters (only a single category of 1123 µm is present), and the oxeas are strongylote, and on average considerably smaller and thinner. It will have to be demonstrated how these features are variable among individuals.

The presence of about one third of smooth aspidasters is difficult to weigh as a discriminating feature of the present specimen, as there is no previous report of such high occurrence of abnormally developed aspidasters. These smooth aspidasters are definitely not juvenile forms of the normally ornamented aspidasters, because such juvenile forms are smaller than the adult spicules and are characteristically provided with a surface ornamentation of radiating ribs and grooves, testifiying of the original euaster ancestry of this spicule
