Homea banksii
(=
E. cirrhatus
) [range within genus is 6-14 pairs of gill apertures]. (

Short description
Morphology

Morphometrics
This species differs from all its congeners except for the western Atlantic species (
E. mendozai
,
E. minor
and
E. multidens
) by possessing 6 pairs of gill pouches and three-cusp multicusps on the anterior and posterior rows of cusps. It differs from
E. mendozai
in number of total cusps (48-56 vs. 56-61), trunk pores (50-55 vs. 48-48) and total pores (83-88 vs. 77-82; from
E. minor
in number of prebranchial pores (13-16 vs. 15-18), trunk pores (50-55 vs. 41-48) and total pores (83-88 vs. 74-82); and from
E. multidens
by its number of tail pores (11-13 vs. 15-16) and total pores (83-88 vs. 88-93) (Ref.
85052
).
Iteroparous (Ref.
