Optical Properties
Optical properties consistent with those of Polypodorhabdus.
Remarks
Species of Polypodorhabdus are constructed of cretarhabdid pelaga surrounding a large central area spanned by an axial cross that supports a distal process. The intercross area is occupied by lateral bars that delimit elongated slits arranged in a single cycle. The number of lateral bars is typically 12, a characteristic feature of Polypodorhabdus sp.2.
