Furthermore, the author emended the original description later when new features about microscleres length and shape were added to the description of species. When the author compared specimens of the original description to those in the emended description, remarkable differences were noted in gemmuloscleres—such as the number of shaft spines and variability in the shape of rotules. Thus, the authors established that it could not be stated that there were two

based on gemmuloscleres as proposed in the original description. Considerable variation in size and shape of the gemmuloscleres were observed in all specimens. These issues should be resolved with additional records and redescriptions of these species from the Neotropical Region. A detailed study of material from original localities of these species is required, thus additional efforts are needed to elucidate this problem.
