Sycortis sycilloides Schuffner 1877

Description

Sycortis sycilloides Schuffner, 1877

This Mauritius species is discussed above as a possible junior synonym of Sycettusa stauridia (Haeckel, 1872). It has similar habitus (two coalescent small tubular individuals), but it has the unpaired actines of the subatrial triactines much longer and thicker (600– 1000 x 80 µm) than Haeckel’s and ours, which measure only 400 x 10–20 µm.
