Actinocyclus papillatus from eastern Australia [2]

From: Bill Rudman


Here is a photo of another specimen of Actinocyclus. It helps to illustarte the confusion that has existed over how many species there are in the genus. I would presume this is a a specimen of Actinocyclus papillatus with poorly developed papillae. You can clearly see the large crater-like pocket in which the gills sit. The gills themselves are aranged in the goblet-shaped arrangement typical of both Actinocyclus and Hallaxa.
