Calcideletrix anomala (Mägdefrau, 1937)

Taxon description

Wisshak, 2017

Emended diagnosis. Main branches may curve in a sinuous fashion and in small individuals may be devoid of smaller side-branches along some length of the curve. From these closely prostrate main axes, with usually smooth surface texture, branches divide, may form anastomoses and gradually decrease in diameter to fine pointed ends that connect to the substrate surface.
