Squatinella bifurcata Bolton, 1884 (Squatinella bisetata Ternez, 1892)
Squatinella bifurcata, dorsal view. (composite of two photographs). In contrast to Squatinella longispinata or Squatinella microdactyla this species has two dorsal spines (the tips are marked by arrows). The arrowheads mark two longitudinal folds on the dorsal lorica, so this specimen might be Squatinella bisetata Ternez, 1892.
