Description

Lyrella hennedyi (W.Smith) Stickle & D.G.Mann (including var. granulosa Grunow)

Reconsideration of the literature to identify specimens in Yap lead to a better identification of specimens reported in Lobban et al. (2012) as L. clavata Gregory (Lobban & Tharngan in prep.), based on Hustedt’s (1961–1966) key, differentiating groups on the basis of rostrate ends, including clavata, from those with rounded apices, including hennedyi. Stria densities are similar in these two species.
