Taxonomy

Citation: Streptochilus cetacense Smart&Thomas 2007
taxonomic rank: species
Basionym: Streptochilus cetacensis Smart and Thomas 2007
Taxonomic discussion: Streptochilus is a neuter noun (Smart & Thomas 2018, p.501) so the correct form of the species name is cetacense, although it was given as cetacensis in the original description.

Catalog entries: Streptochilus cetacensis

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Streptochilus): Like Chiloguembelina but with an internal plate connecting successive chambers, a prominent extension of an apertural collar, and a smoother surface texture.
This taxon: Triangular in shape and flared

NB These concise distinguishing features statements are used in the tables of daughter-taxa to act as quick summaries of the differences between e.g. species of one genus.
They are being edited as the site is developed and comments on them are especially welcome.
