Three newly recognized cheilostomate bryozoans from the British sea area

Three species of cheilostomate Bryozoa are described, and illustrated by scanning electron micrographs. One was previously poorly characterized and is here stabilized by the selection of a neotype; a second is recognized as distinct from an Arctic congener while the third is entirely new to science...

Description
Summary:Three species of cheilostomate Bryozoa are described, and illustrated by scanning electron micrographs. One was previously poorly characterized and is here stabilized by the selection of a neotype; a second is recognized as distinct from an Arctic congener while the third is entirely new to science and represents the first record of the genus Codonellina from the north-east Atlantic.
