Agassizia scrobiculata (aboral)
Description Aboral side: It seems, the posterior petals are more reduced adapically in Agassizia scrobiculata than in A. excentrica. However, there is much variation in both species. The geographical range is a good distinction: A. scrobiculata is recorded from the west coast of tropical America, A. excentrica from the Caribbean.
Length 31 mm; Isla el Requeson, Mexico.
