Name
Cyamon quadriradiatum (Carter, 1880) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Microciona quadriradiata Carter 1880[1]: 42, pl. 4 fig. 4 (Gulf of Manaar, India).
Material examined
None. Type material apparently lost from the collections of the National Museums Liverpool (Dr Ian Wallace, in litteris), no slides have been found in the Natural History Museum (Ms Emma Sherlock, in litteris).
Description
(From Carter, 1880). Thinly encrusting, hispid, color when dry dark brown. Spicules (Fig. 14E, left) of three kinds, long thick styles with a globular tyle, size given as 1042 × 41 µm, short thin ‘crooked’ styles, length 347 µm, and robust four-claded polyactines with all cladi entirely spined, length of cladus given as 76 µm.
Distribution
Gulf of Manaar, Southeastern India.
Ecology
No data.
Discussion
This species needs redescription, but the long thick styles in combination with the densely spinous polyactines appear sufficiently distinct. Nevertheless there is a resemblance to the polyactines of Cyamon aruense, see above.
