  • 1. Solis-Marin et al. (2014) writes that " Tentacles devoid of any kind of ossicles " (p. 324), and this feature is used as a diagnostic character in their key of the genus Scoliorhapis (p. 326). At the same page 324 authors stated " Tentacles with sigmoid deposits similar to those in body wall but slightly smaller (55 - 59 µm) (Fig. 2 C) ", which is repeated in the figure caption (p. 326). So the question of the presence or absence of the sigmoids in the tentacles in S. dianthus remain open, although, apparently, authors did not found ossicles in the tentacles in S. dianthus.
