Holectypus hondoensis Revisited


Uncle Siphuncle

Recommended Posts

The apical plates are rather prominent (for a holectypoid) on this specimen...the only one of its kind I've run into.  Test 9.3 mm diameter, 6  mm high.

More angles.  I finally broke out a real camera instead of just lazily whipping out my phone.

Discoides?

Discoides is certainly very similar.  Well known in Europe, but not documented in the US, to my knowledge.
