Material examined. NIBRIV0000325940, Gaerinyeo Island , Gageodo Island, 13 Aug. 1998 by SCUBA diving from 1823 m in depth .
Description. Colony encrusting, forming thin and broad incrustation on substratum, translucent, unilaminar, fragile. Zooids oval, flat or slightly convex, pores between zooids. Adjacent zooids linked by short tubules. Frontal wall smooth, hyaline, imperforate, fine transverse grained, with conical frontal umbo. Orifice semicircular, D-shaped, larger in ovicellate zooids. Avicularia interzooidal, small and round, or triangular, linked to adjacent zooids by communication tubes. Ovicell prominent, hyperstomial, smooth, imperforate, associated with an avicularium on its top.

Distribution. Korea, China, Philippines, Vanuatu, New Zealand, Galapagos Islands, Hawaii, British, Mediterranean Sea, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, South Africa. Red Sea.
Remarks. This species is apparently almost cosmopolitan, distributed through all the world’s seas, except for polar waters (Hayward and Ryland, 1979). Korean specimen is mostly similar to New Zealand’s one ( Gordon, 1984). However, the latter has no spines except on ancestrula, whereas the former has occasionally a pair of spines. Besides a few of small papillae are shown on the frontal wall of some zooids in Korean specimen.
