Symplectoscyphus exochus Blanco, 1982 (Fig. 12 F) Symplectoscyphus exochus— Peña Cantero, 2010a: 36 (synonymy); 2012: 861, fig. 7b; 2013: 133, fig. 4C; 2014a: 1724, fig. 6c. Material examined. Stn 53, incipient stem with three hydrothecae on Staurotheca nonscripta (NIWA 117577)—material doubtfully assigned to this species; Stn 67, two stems up to 7 mm high on Staurotheca nonscripta (MNCN 2.03/637)—material doubtfully assigned to this species; Stn 148, stem fragment 10 mm long, with incipient gonothecae (NIWA 117578). Measurements (in µm). Hydrothecae: length of abcauline wall 230, length free part of adcauline wall 200, length adnate part of adcauline wall 200, length adcauline wall 400, diameter at aperture 120. Remarks.

However, the remaining material is doubtfully assigned to S. exochus due to its ... : Published as part of ÁLVARO L.
