Abstract:
Light and electron microscopical reinvestigation of Polyoeca dichotoma Kent revealed that Acanthoecopsis spiculifera Norris, the type species of the genus, is a synonym for Polyoeca dichotoma. Since this step invalidates the use of the name Acanthoecopsis, a new genus Acanthocorbis was established for the three species formerly included in Acanthoecopsis.The three dimensional arrangement of costal strips forming the loricae of Polyoeca dichotoma and Acanthoeca spectabilis Ellis were examined by scanning electron microscopy. The arrangement of costal strips were similar in both species. The longitudinal costal strips and those forming the spines were arranged outside the supplementary costae and those of the transverse bonds
