Sertularella leiocarpoides Vervoort, 1993: 223 , fig. 49.

Material examined

BATHUS 2: Stn. CP737, a 5 cm high, sterile colony devoid of hydrorhiza (MNHN-IK-2012-16581).

BATHUS 3:Stn.DW829,a 3.5cm high colony fragment bearing one gonotheca(MNHN-IK-2012-16582); Stn. DW830, a 5 cm high and 7.5 cm wide sterile colony (MNHN-IK-2012-16583).

SALOMON 1: Stn. DW1741, a 2 cm high, sterile colony (MNHN-IK-2012-16584).

Remarks

The four available specimens were compared to a colony of Sertularella leiocarpa ( Allman, 1888) from Inaccessible Island (see Galea 2015b). Portions of three of them are illustrated altogether with S. leiocarpa , so as to show their specific differences (compare Fig. 5 View Fig D–F and 5G). As already noted by Vervoort (1993), the internodes are thick, short and geniculate in S. leiocarpoides , and comparatively more slender, longer, and less geniculate in S. leiocarpa . In addition, the hydrothecae of Vervoort’s species have the adaxial cusps characteristically upturned, and there are generally also two inconspicuous latero-adaxial, internal, submarginal projections of the perisarc and, occasionally, a third one, on the abaxial side.

Geographical distribution

New Caledonia ( Vervoort 1993; present study), Solomon Islands (present study).
