Busk (1884) found <i>C. atlantica</i> on seafloors composed of gravel and shells.

Licornia ferox Busk 1852
No full textLicornia ferox Busk, 1852a (Figs 2A, 3 A–B; Table 1) Scrupocellaria ferox Busk, 1852a: p. 370; Busk, 1852b: p. 25, pl. 22, figs 1, 2, 5. Harmer, 1926: p. 367, pl. 25, figs 1–6. Licornia ferox: Vieira et al., 2013: p. 1916, fig. 4c–d. Material examined. TAB 12 from Stn JP 01-1. Description. Colony erect, flexible, bushy, dichotomously branched (Fig. 3A), with internodes comprising 10–12 zooids. Autozooids at slight angle to each other, biserial and triserial at the bifurcation, subrectangular with rounded distal corners. Opesia oval, narrower proximally, c. three-quarters of zooid length. Oral spine bases 4, tiny, arranged around distal rim of zooid. Scutum absent. Small lateral avicularium (Fig. 3B) present, with acute rostrum, located at outer distal corner of each zooid. Gymnocyst very short proximally or concealed by vibracular chamber and avicularium. Cryptocyst extremely narrow, smooth. Frontal avicularium with triangular rostrum, located proximally on gymnocyst in almost all zooids. Axial vibraculum single, prominent in frontal view, elongate with thin seta. Rhizoids tubular, with some retroussé hooks. Ovicell not observed. Remarks. Vieira et al. (2013) resurrected the genus Licornia, distinguishing it from Scrupocellaria van Beneden, 1845 on the basis of several characters, the most obvious being that Scrupocellaria has a straight vibracular groove (slightly curved in Licornia), two axial vibracula (one in Licornia) and an ectooecium with only a single small fenestra (multiporous in Licornia). Among Licornia species, L. ferox most resembles L. cyclostoma (Busk, 1852a), L. longispinosa (Harmer, 1926) and L. jolloisii (Audouin, 1826). However, L. ferox is distinguished by the absence of frontal scuta, while in L. cyclostoma and L. longispinosa scuta are present. The scuta of L. cyclostoma are present only in ovicelled zooids, while L. longispinosa has oval scuta in all zooids as well as very long distal spines. Licornia jolloisii is characterized by the presence of a stout spine-like scutum with a sharp point (Vieira et al. 2013). Distribution. Licornia ferox was originally collected by the expedition of HMS Rattlesnake in the Louisiade Archipelago and Papua New Guinea (Busk, 1852a), and also during the Siboga Expedition in Java, Indonesia (Harmer 1926).Published as part of Asagabaldan, M.

Apart from the type species, <i>T. stellata</i> Busk, 1867, only one other species of the genus has been introduced, <i>Tennysonia subcylindrica</i> Ortmann, 1900. Ortmann (1900: 370) did not figure his new species but described it as closely resembling <i>T. stellata</i> but having more slen- der, subcylindrical branches and slightly prominent ‘orifices of the cells’ (i.e. peristomes). It is unclear whether Ortmann’s species, a?Miocene fossil from Santa Cruz in southern Patagonia, really belongs to <i>Tennysonia</i>.</p>Published as part of <i>Taylor, Paul D., Waeschenbach, Andrea & Florence, Wayne K., 2011, Phylogenetic position and systematics of the bryozoan Tennysonia: further evidence for convergence and plasticity in skeletal morphology among cyclostome bryozoans, pp. 58-68 in Zootaxa 3010</i> on page 60, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/207778">10.5281/zenodo.207778</a>

Previously recorded from Cape Town (i.e. Cape of Good Hope), Plettenberg Bay, Port Elizabeth, East London and extending eastwards into Kwazulu Natal. Description. Colony erect, ramifying, comprising branches of rounded subtriangular cross-section. Branch bifurcation angle approximately 45–90 °, torsion of branches between bifurcations varying from minor, resulting in almost planar colonies, to moderate, resulting in more three-dimensional colonies. Anastomoses frequently in planar colonies, present but less common in three-dimensional colonies. Branches typically reflexed, the dorsal side concave in profile, varying in width from about 1.3 to 2.7 mm, delayed separation of branches after division of frontal midlines sometimes producing broader, flabellate sheets. Zooids opening on the two frontolateral branch surfaces; apertures of autozooids usually connate, arranged in transverse series of 5–9 autozooids per series, those on opposite frontolateral sides alternating along crest at branch midline, diameter typically showing a slight gradient of increase towards branch midline; spacing between connate series a little greater than autozooidal aperture diameter, occupied by kenozooids. Branch dorsal (reverse) surface formed of pseudoporous exterior wall, slightly convex, smooth apart from arcuate growth bands, traces of interzooidal walls visible through exterior wall under an optical microscope, defining long, narrow proximal parts of newly budded zooids. Overgrowths irregularly developed on branch dorsal surfaces, particularly in basal parts of colonies, comprising kenozooids either with or without calcified exterior walls. Transversely fractured branches reveal small, new buds only along exterior wall of dorsal branch surface. Ancestrula and early astogeny unknown, proximal parts of all available colonies either broken-off or obscured by kenozooidal overgrowths. Autozooids free-walled or fixed-walled. Apertures polygonal in free-walled autozooids, 0.15–0.27 mm in diameter, subcircular to longitudinally elliptical in fixed-walled autozooids, 0.13–0.17 mm in diameter. Peristomes absent in free-walled autozooids, very short and collar-like in fixed-walled autozooids. Apertural spines comprising thickened, pustulose patches of interior wall around rims of some autozooidal apertures, commoner at wall triple junctions. Exterior-wall calcification closing some autozooidal apertures, particularly to dorsal surface of Kenozooids smaller and more irregularly polygonal in shape than autozooids, either free-walled throughout colony or becoming fixed-walled a variable distance proximally of branch growing tips, generally arranged in 1–3 ill-defined rows between autozooidal apertures. Gonozooids infrequent (only two examples observed), opening frontally, brood chamber ovoidal in outline, extending across both frontolateral branch surfaces, incorporating 2–3 series of autozooids, some of which protrude through roof as single, pairs or triplets of apertures. Roof formed of exterior wall with denser and larger pseudopores than elsewhere. Ooeciopore not identified, either destroyed by breakage of roof or indistinguishable from autozooidal apertures. Interior walls with fabric of transverse fibres near wall growing edges. Interzooidal pores numerous, partly closed by numerous centripetal spines extending into pore lumens, <10 µm in diameter. Pseudopores subcircular, some with iris-like partial closure formed by a small number of basally coalesced centripetal spines, <10 µm in diameter. Remarks. This species was said by Busk to have a pale rose tint and be parasitic on Onchopora tubulosa, although our fresh material from Port Elizabeth is yellow in colour. The material described by Busk came from the Cape of Good Hope and was supplied by ‘Dr. Rubidge (Mrs. Gatty)’. Busk (1867) regarded the species to be most closely related to Discoporella Gray and assigned it provisionally to the family Diastoporidae Busk, 1859. However, in 1875 he transferred it ‘doubtfully’ to his new family Discoporellidae, adding that it ‘should probably be regarded as a Heteropora’ [Heteropora Blainville, 1830 is a genus nowadays assigned to the suborder Cerioporina, see Nye 1975]. Notably, Busk (1875) described Diastoporidae as having ‘no cancelli’ but Discoporellidae as having a ‘cancellated or porous’ surface. Curiously, Busk’s text (1867, p. 242) failed to associate a species name with his new genus Tennysonia, although the trivial name stellata is specified in the plate description. None of the NHMUK specimens correspond with the colonies depicted by Busk (1867) or match the locality (Cape of Good Hope) or habitat and collection details stated by Busk (1867, p. 242): ‘parasitic upon Onchopora tubulosa. Dr. Rubidge (Mrs. Gatty)’. The whereabouts of Busk’s syntypes, if they still exist, are therefore unknown.Published as part of Taylor, Paul D., Waeschenbach, Andrea & Florence, Wayne K., 2011, Phylogenetic position and systematics of the bryozoan Tennysonia: further evidence for convergence and plasticity in skeletal morphology among cyclostome bryozoans, pp. 58-68 in Zootaxa 3010 on pages 61-65, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20777

UFBA 1626, UFBA 1646, UFBA 3317–3320, on valves of Plicatula gibbosa. Description. Colony erect (Fig. 3C), flexible, branching, with internodes comprising 8–12 zooids. Autozooids biserial (triserial at the bifurcation), subrectangular with rounded distal edges. Opesia oval, comprising three-fourth of zooidal length; often with a medial, paddle-shaped scutum (Fig. 3D, arrow), surrounded proximally by a smooth, narrow cryptocyst; poorly developed gymnocyst; four or five oral spines (two inner, two outer and one distal). Lateral avicularium (Fig. 3D, circle) with a triangular rostrum and serrated margins placed at the outer distal edge of each zooid. Frontal avicularium (Fig. 3D, dashed circle) with triangular rostrum and hooked tip at the proximomedial corner of each autozooid. Vibracular chamber conspicuous in frontal view, elongate, with short oblique setal groove. Vibracular setae smooth. Rhizoids (Fig. 3C, arrow) tubular, sometimes hooked. Ovicell not observed. Remarks. Licornia diadema (Busk, 1852) represents a species complex involving many undescribed species (Tilbrook & Vieira 2012; Almeida et al. 2017a). It is commonly found attached to algae, corals and sponges (Almeida et al. 2017a). Distribution.
