Type material So far, no type specimen of this species has been positively identified and redescribed. A possible type specimen has been recently found in the BMNH collection (Ms Emma Sherlock in litteris), labeled ‘Cometella gracilior n.g. n.sp. Alligator Reef, BMNH 1939:2:10:45 (sp) MCZ Exchange (MCZ 8130)’. It has the shape of Schmidt’s pl. IV fig. 9, and in all probability is not ‘Cometella gracilior’ (= Asbestopluma (A.) gracilior q.v.), but possibly the type of Rhizaxinella clava. [details]
