Subgenus Raspaxilla Topsent, 1913 View in CoL

Definition. Raspailia with echinating acanthose rhabdostyles geometrically very different from the usually longer choanosomal styles (the latter without any basal rhabd); extraaxial styles forming a radial skeleton perpendicular to the axis; and well differentiated axial and extraaxial skeletons (the former compressed, the latter plumoreticulate and/or radial) ( Hooper, 2002).
