  • Moreover, C. (H.) hystrix has scales of a different type (three-lobed, not one-lobed) and different distribution (11- 13 longitudinal alternating rows of scales, 12-13 scales in each row). Furthermore, this species has longer spines with lateral denticles (neck: ca. 4.5 Μm; trunk: 10-13 Μm) and does not have spines at the furca base, in contrast to the newly described species.
