was drawn to the similarity of descriptions (save for the structure 

 of the eyes) and illustrations of L. aestiva given by Stebbing (1888) 

 and of Scypholanceola vanhoejfeni prepared by Woltereck (1905). The 

 eyes of L. aestiva have not been very precisely described by Stebbing 

 and it is their exceptional structure which served as the basis for 

 Wolterek's establishment of the genus Scypholanceola. A later review 

 of the type specimen of L. aestiva preserved in the British Museum 

 showed that the holotype (larger specimen) should actually be considered 

 Scypholanceola, and that the paratype (smaller specimen) is identical to 

 Lanceola loveni (see Thurston, 1973). Thus L. aestiva Stebbing should be 

 considered the older synonym of S. vanhoejfeni and L. aestiva in works 

 by later authors should be considered a synonym of L. loveni Bovallius.
