Figure 6

(A) and (B) Line drawings showing the frontal view of the two valves of S. lycodi n. sp. separated. Each valve has two different ends; a round/bulbous shaped end (Rbe) and a spoon/cup shaped end (Sce). The valves have an approximately 180° twist and consequently analogous ends of the two valves lie in the same plane. In frontal view most of the one valve's body is visible (A) but only the ends of the opposing valve (B). (C) The suture of the valve ends. The Rbe type appears to sit inside the Sce end and supports the polar capsule. Scale bars = 2 μm.
