Editors' Notes
There was no illustration of this species in Haeckel (1887)
Haeckel listed Calpophaena hexacorethra under the subgeneric name Cladocorona, but did not include the subgeneric name in the species name.

The \preceding species\" refers to Calpophaena tetracorethra Haeckel 1887a."[comment from RadWorld database]
