Material studied. Ormonde, stn 3: few scattered colonies, on Zonaria tournefortii , DBUA 1523.01. Ormonde, stn 4: abundant on tuff of algae, well-developed colonies, epibionts: small algae; DBUA 1523.02. Reported distribution. Eastern Atlantic.—Widespread from Iceland ( Kramp 1938) to South Africa ( Millard 1975). Herein reported for the first time in the Gorringe Bank.

Mediterranean.—Widespread (e.g. García-Corrales et al. 1978; Vervoort 1993; Peña Cantero & García Carrascosa 2002).

Elsewhere.—Eurybathic species, apparently with nearly worldwide distribution (e.g. Cornelius 1995b).
