Aplidium pannosum ( Ritter, 1899)

( Figure 5C )

Material examined. Matua Island, Point Kluv, 14 m, three colonies (#403, 404, 419).

Remarks. The species was reported from this locality and described in details in our previous paper ( Sanamyan & Sanamyan, 2017). The cloacal systems, as it was revealed on newly obtained photographs, vary from more or less round to somewhat more complex, with short cloacal canals converging to common cloacal openings ( Figure 5C ).
