( Figures 5A View FIGURE 5 )

Material examined. Matua Island, Point Kluv, intertidal pool, 0 6.08.2017, one colony (#419).

Remarks. The species has characteristic small zooids with four rows of stigmata and five stomach folds. Photos of living colonies of this species show flat dirty-yellowish colonies with some amount of sand on surface and with large sessile common cloacal openings and double rows of zooids radiating from them. Existing photos ( Figure 5A View FIGURE 5 ) are not good and detailed organization of systems of zooids cannot be revealed.
