Material examined

PACIFIC OCEAN • a 1.8 cm high colony with two (likely male) gonothecae, with almost only the perisarc left; off New Caledonia, stn CP4687; 22°29′ S, 167°30′ E; 256–268 m; 14 Aug. 2016; KANACONO leg.; MNHN-IK-2015-419 • a 1.7 cm high colony bearing an immature female gonotheca; off New Caledonia, stn DW4743; 22°52′ S, 167°34′ E; 380- 340 m; 23 Aug. 2016; KANACONO leg.; MNHN- IK-2015-426 GoogleMaps a 1.5 cm high colony with two female gonothecae; off New Caledonia, stn DW4744; 22°55′ S, 167°37′ E; 310– 290 m; 23 Aug. 2016; KANACONO leg., MHNG-INVE- 120848 GoogleMaps a 1.5 cm high colony bearing one male gonotheca; off New Caledonia, stn DW4678; 22°51′ S, 167°34′ E; 308– 303 m; 13 Aug. 2016; KANACONO leg.; MNHN-IK-2015-464 GoogleMaps .

Remarks

In material MNHN-IK-2015-426, the perisarc of the colony may be wavy to wrinkled in places, and the corrugations of the hydrothecae are more conspicuous, encompassing also their abaxial wall.

The hydrothecae in sample MNHN-IK-2015-419 display seven internal projections of the perisarc: four latero-adaxial, of which the two adaxial-most are the most prominent, one large abaxial, and two smaller latero-abaxial ( Fig. 14D View Fig ). Its gonothecae are believed to be male, owing their shape and size (ca 1680 µm long and 505 µm wide, only one measured), compared to those from the holotype (see Galea 2016); they are given off laterally from the middle of the internode on side opposite to hydrotheca but, soon after, they are shifted on to the anterior/posterior side of the colony; club-shaped, with slightly undulated walls, aperture distal, rounded, small (ca 100 µm wide), borne on rather short and narrow neck region.
