Remarks. To our knowledge, no authors have illustrated exactly the morphology described and figured by Haeckel; in particular, the combination of ribs, feet, and appendages on the thorax. However, some authors have come close, which are included in this synonymy. As no specimens were observed in our EEP material, it is beyond the scope of this project to evaluate this species concept, but some clarification is needed.
