Mycale (Carmia) militaris Annandale, 1914 View in CoL

Mycale aegagropila var. militaris Annandale, 1914: 151 View in CoL , pl. X fig. 2; Ali 1956: 295 (misspelled as aegagsopila).

Mycale aegagropala (sic) var. milataris (sic); Pattanayak 2009: 24.

Summary description. Thin film on Mytilus mussels. Bright scarlet in life, turning dull green in preservation. No description of skeleton but stated to be similar to Esperella aegagropila sensu Vosmaer & Pekelharing 1897 . This description concerns Dutch populations of Mycale (Carmia) View in CoL encrusting oysters. It is likely that these authors studied Mycale (Carmia) micracanthoxea Buizer & Van Soest, 1977 View in CoL , which is commonly found in the oysterbeds in SE Netherlands. Annandale’s material is thus likely to belong to subgenus Carmia . Mycalostyles 240–270 µm, anisochelae I (not in rosettes) 44 µm, sigmas I 95 µm, toxas 148–200 µm.

Distribution. Madras (= Chennai) Harbor, depth 1– 2 m.

Comment. This description reminds strongly of Mycale (Carmia) madraspatana Annandale, 1914 . The only difference is the presence of rosettes of anisochelae in that species. Ali (1956) reports sigmas of 120 µm.
