Smilium zancleanum (Seguenza,1876)
SUMMARY
Annandale (1916)
The species is a somewhat isolated one readily distinguished by the vestigial nature and microscopic size of the calcareous valves of its stalk. This character is combined with a fully calcified capitular armature, great bulk and leaf-like anal appendages.
