Distaplia australiensis Brewin, 1953 View in CoL
Distaplia australiensis Brewin, 1953: 61 View in CoL ; Kott, 1990a: 113 and synonymy.
Distribution. New records: Queensland (Moreton Bay, Hanlon Light).
Description. The colony has short branched fleshy stalks arising from common basal test. Each branch terminates in a rounded head with zooids in a row each side of the longitudinal canals that converge to the terminal common cloacal aperture. The zooids are contracted and not in good condition. Some vegetative zooids are present at the top of each stalk but details of their structure were not determined.
Remarks. The species has been reported once from Gladstone (see Kott, 1990a), although more records are from locations between Spencer Gulf, d’Entrecasteaux Channel and Bass Strait. Differences between these southern Australian populations and the Queensland ones have not yet been established.
