Remarks. Calyptooecia conuma is characterized by small spot-like colonies ( Fig. 72 View FIGURES 72 – 77. 72 – 73 ), brooding zooids without perioral tubercles, and non-brooding zooids surrounded by 4–5 conical tubercles and a single, asymmetrically placed, suboral avicularium on almost all zooids ( Fig. 73 View FIGURES 72 – 77. 72 – 73 ) ( Almeida & Souza 2014). Only two species of Calyptooecia are known worldwide ( Bock 2016). Calyptooecia insidiosa Winston, 1984 is found in the Caribbean where colonies are associated with coral undersurfaces and reef caves ( Winston 1984). Calyptooecia conuma commonly encrusts calcareous nodules, shells, coralline algae and sponges ( Almeida & Souza 2014). We examined a small colony attached to recesses of the rugose-textured sponge Spongosorites sp. ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 8 – 12 ).

Distribution. Atlantic: endemic to Brazil (Bahia) ( Almeida & Souza 2014).
