Editors' Notes
Haeckel listed Sethostylus serratus under the subgeneric name Heliostylus, but did not include the subgeneric name in the species name.
Figure: Only the lower half of the illustrated disc represents Sethostylus dentatus. The lower half Haeckel identifies as a second figure, \fig.1\", which refers to Sethostylus dentatus haeckel, 1887a."[comment from RadWorld database]
