Remarks. Manota anfracta was previously known only from the Ecuadorian type material ( Hippa & Kurina 2013). The present material gives a different concept of the structure of the parastylar lobe when compared with the original description. The parastylar lobe is actually bilobed consisting of a ventral sclerotized part and a mediodorsal submembranous part. In the mount of the holotype the latter happens to be concealed under the former.
