- Notes: Originally placed under genus Acanthella. Also known as Oxeostylon (or Teichaxinella) burtoni de Laubenfels, 1934. Orange-yellow bushes, often with tubular ends. Surface very corrugated and velvety. It has been synonymyzed with Teichaxinella morchella Wiedenmayer, 1977, which is more probably Stylissa caribica Lehnert & van Soest, 1998, also pictured in this guide. S. caribica which has a softer and smoother skin, with has wider convolutions. In addition, it has only regular sized styles as spicules, in contrast to the additional category of long styles and oxea spicules of A. corrugata. A. corrugata can also be confused with Axinella sp.-orange corrugated tubes-branches, also pictured in this guide, but the latter corrugation is lower and it lacks the long category of styles, the oxea being larger that the larger style. Axinella digitiformis Lehnert & van Soest, 1996 may be a junior synonim of A. corrugata.
