. The styles on their length could potentially be split into two overlapping groups. However, due to the variable ends of the styles which extends over both potential groups indicate this is more likely to just be an example of variation. The styles are not specific for fibers of ectosomal regions, however the styles located in the fibers do tend to be the larger styles, and the small styles only seem to occur in the ectosome and the choanosome. Because of the variation in size and shape of the styles it is not specific for the tissue. There is some confusion with the labelling of the type specimens at the British Museum of Natural History, as specimen BMNH 1912.1.65 is clearly

. As these specimens are of orders of magnitude of different sizes, its unlikely the specimens have been replaced in the wrong jars, and the labels were incorrectly swapped over. It must have occurred before or during the placement of the specimens in the ground glass jars from their previous housings. No doubt this mislabeling has added to the confusion about whether they are two different species or just one. It is even possible that this mistake was made by Row in 1911 as examination of the sections of the
