( Fig. 10 e–g)

Material examined. ANT XV/3: 48-31, one colony, c. 50 mm high, with developing gonothecae; ANT XVII/3: 111- 5, one colony, c. 45 mm high; 111-9, one colony, c. 60 mm high, with gonothecae; ANT XXI/2: PS65/121, one colony, c. 40 mm high, with gonothecae; PS65/248, one colony, c. 35 mm high.
