Unreviewed
Taxonomic remark Sheet-like or funnel-shaped organisms, allocated to incertae sedis (in zoological nomenclature) in original work, however in text these authors state: "Retiranus balticus gen. et sp. nov. similarly [to Lontohystrichosphaera grandis, described in the same work] represents a benthic (large size and basal holdfast), probably photosynthetic, protist (thalloid habit and shallow-water setting), in this instance almost certainly capturing a larger part of its life cycle as it differentiates what appear to be marginal propagules." Mistakenly assigned to Chaetognatha in ION/Zoological Record. [details]
