PARATYPE

Paratype II. MBARI code T1076(1). Ethanol fixation; paraffin sagittal sections, rDNA sequenced. From description: "The fixed holotype, after being photographed through the dissecting microscope, was dehydrated in an ethanol series, embedded via xylene in paraffin, oriented for cross sectioning, and prepared as serial sections 15 ?m thick. Paratypes I and II were similarly prepared as paraffin cross and sagittal sections, respectively. Most of the serial sections were stained in Mayer’s hematoxylin and eosin, and a few were stained for acid mucopolysaccharides in 0.1% aqueous azure A."
