Rem.: epiplanktonic - ?.
For Vervoort (1965, p.84), males, in the structure of P5 as well as in other details quite different from the above mentioned male specimens, have been described by Rose (1942, p.163) and referred to Amallothrix tenuiserrata (Giesbrecht, 1892), Rose's males record are very doubtful, the more so since the female S. tenuiserrata seems to have been absent from his collection.
