, but because of the small size of fragments available and all polyps were tightly retracted, the arrangement of polyp sclerites could not be studied satisfactory. The removal of calyx thornscales for a better view resulted in breakage of the polyps, even with material kept in alcohol. However, we were able to establish that the collaret generally had one or two rows of spindles and the points were made up of two triradiates, or a triradiate and a few curved, hockeystick or boot-shaped, flattened spindles; sometimes two triradiates and a small spindle formed a point. Due to the variation and inconsistency of the sclerite arrangement between and within the polyps, counting number of rows in the collaret and number of point sclerites did not provide any meaningful information. Also in previously described species this arrangement was often not mentioned in detail, probably because of the same problem. As a result of these observations and uncertainty about the arrangement of the polyp sclerites we exclude it from the descriptions of all but one species. However, we do schematically show the arrangement of the triradiates in the points as this has never been published before (
