Genus STYLINA de Lamarck, 1816

Type species. Stylina echinulata de Lamarck, 1816 , by monotypy.

Remarks. The taxonomic problems of the genus Stylina were discussed in Löser (2016). The genus is conceptual, but widely accepted in the sense of Gill (1977) as a plocoid colony with septa that bear at their septal inner margins small ear-like ornamentations, named by Gill auriculae. For the distinction of the various Stylina species in the study area see Table 41.
