Mycale vermistyla Li, 1986: 87 View in CoL (Chinese text), 110 (English text), Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 .

Summary description. Branched, firm body, surface irregular, color brown. Skeleton with isolated bundles of mycalostyles. Mycalostyles, alleged to be in two categories (straight and vermiform) 134–254 x 3–8 µm, anisochelae 14–16 µm, sigmas I 36–39 µm, sigmas II peculiarly curved, 14–17 µm.

Distribution. Yulin, south coast of Hainan, South China Sea, approx. 18.2°N 109.54°E. no depth data.

Comment. The ‘vermiform’ mycalostyles are probably just juvenile spicules (see above in the New Caledonian specimen of M. (C.) monomicrosclera sp.nov., which has similar vermiform spicules). The small sigmas are indicated as ‘much more curved’ and peculiar. We believe that the ramose growth form is the distinctive feature of the species.
