Description.
Voucher specimen NHM_367, small solenogaster specimen, anterior end lacking; fragment ca. 2.5 mm long and 0.5 mm in maximum diameter (Fig. 25). Main epidermal sclerites are slender, elongate and pointed scales with a thin, symmetrical rim, and hollow acicular spicules with voluminous cavities, thin walls, and short, pointed tips. Data and material, including a permanent preparation of sclerites (1 slide), made available for future study.
Genetic data.
GenBank NHM_367 COI-MF157519.
Remarks.
The combination of scales and hollow spicules as main epidermal sclerites is diagnostic for the family Acanthomeniidae . Forms a unique monophyletic clade distinct from other AB01 specimens (Fig. 27). No genetic matches on GenBank.
Ecology.
