REMARKS

Arcoscalpellum michelottianum is probably a complex of several distinct species (Ross in litt. 1999). He noted conspicuous differences between specimens of Hoek’s types series of Scalpellum velutinum Hoek, 1883 , photographed by Young (1998a: fig. 13a-d). The specimens differ in the relative development of the upper-latus, the position of the apex of the carina relative to the apex of the scutum and in the number and size of the plates on the peduncle. The specimens herein studied comprises the “ Arcoscalpellum velutinum ” type of Hoek, shown in Young (1998a: fig. 13c-d). A question about the peduncular pattern is if there are any changes in this pattern during the development? The three specimens record- ed have distinct sizes (tl of 29.5, 37.5 and 49.0 mm). If all the scales of the specimens are figured some differences can be observed. In the smaller stage the peduncular plate pattern is the basic eight-plate pattern with one row of rl-cl and another of sr-l-sc ( Fig. 18A View FIG ). The large specimen has a six-plated pattern lacking the cl plates ( Fig. 18C View FIG ). In the intermediate size individual, there is a change in the pattern from eight-plates to large plates in a six-plate pattern also with the exclusion of the cls ( Fig. 18B View FIG ). During ontogeny, the narrow basal part of the peduncle has irregularly spaced plates, which obscures the original pattern.

On the other hand, this observation reaffirms the supposition of an eight-plate pattern as a simplesiomorphic character in scalpellids ( Newman & Ross 1998).
