Janaria mirabilis

Notes: The original description is a short diagnosis only. It refers to a figure in the book “ Tierbau und Tierleben ” (Doflein 1914, p. 350, fig. 302 C) (Fig. 6 A bottom), which enabled to identify the sample the description is based on. Stechow (1962, p. 424 - 427, figs. 4 - 7) provides a very detailed redescription based on the type material. According to this, the two “ specimens ” have different localities near to each other. One is from a depth of 7 m only. Accordingly the details of the locality on the type specimen sample appear to belong to one of the two “ specimens ” only.
