Adeonellopsis pulchra (Stoliczka, 1862) n. comb. (Fig. 4A)

Eschara (Porellia) pulchra Stoliczka, 1862: 87, pl. 2, fig. 10.

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Ŋree syntypes registered as 1862/0022/0056. Ŋe chosen lectotype (designated here) corresponds with Stoliczka’s illustration (1862: pl. 2, fig. 10) and is depicted as Figure 4A herein.

DIAGNOSIS. — Colony columnar, multiserial with 6-8 autozooecial rows. Autozooecia elongate-oval with thick raised margins and very small areolar-septular pores in interzooidal furrows. Frontal shield mostly occupied by a very large spiraminal area with 12-16 perforations. Aperture semilunar to semicircular, narrow. Avicularia mostly median suboral, more or less transversely orientated with a very short acute rostrum; mostly eroded and represented by a subcircular foramen, this only slightly larger than spiraminal pores in some zooecia.Gonozooecium unknown.

REMARKS

Adeonellopsis pulchra n. comb. differs from other similar species in having a small avicularium and a large spiraminal area, perforated by more than 12pores (Fig. 4A), that leaves a very narrow remaining area of frontal shield that comprises a raised rim.
