Radula of Scyllaea pelagica
September 14, 2002
From: Bill Rudman
Here are some SEM photos of the radula of Scyllaea pelagica.
PHOTOS: Townsville, Queensland, Australia, February 1975. AM C99298. Upper photo showing central tooth and inner teeth on right side of ribbon. The radular ribbon is torn in the photo. Normally there is no gap between the central tooth and the teeth on the left side of the ribbon. Lower photo showing outer teeth on right side. Photos: Geoff Avern.
Scyllaea pelagica, like Crosslandia viridis, has a central radular tooth, closely flanked on each side by lateral teeth. Notobryon wardi on the otherhand, lacks a central tooth.
