Distribution
New record: Western Australia (NW Port Hedland , QM G308080 ). Previously recorded (see Kott 1985): Western Australia ( Montebello Is , Port Hedland , Cape Preston , Dampier Archipelago ), Torres Strait, Philippines. The newly recorded colony was trawled from 35 m in muddy sand .
Description
The newly recorded colony is large, with zooids adhering to one another along their sides although their only organic continuity appears to be through the thin basal stolons. The test is thin and paper-like and the siphon linings are black. Zooids are as previously described with two branchial folds on each side of the body, a short gut loop enclosing a single endocarp and loosely attached to the body wall by ligaments. Large clumps of small male follicles with short ducts are along each side of the midventral line. Female ovaries were not detected, although the specimens otherwise conform with previous descriptions.
Remarks
The absence of female gonads from this large specimen tends to confirm previous suggestions that gonads in this group of colonial styelids are variable (see Millar 1963).
