Filellum cf. magnificum Peña Cantero, Svoboda & Vervoort, 2004 (fig. 10A, table 8) Filellum magnificum Peña Cantero, Svoboda & Vervoort, 2004: 2287, figs 2G–H, 5. Material examined . Stn. CHL 02 —04.iii.2005, 13– 20 m, S58: sterile colonies, on polychaete tubes (MHNG INVE 53239). Type locality . Weddell Sea, Antarctica. Description . Stolons creeping on external surface of polychaete tubes, giving rise to irregularly-spaced hydrothecae. Hydrothecae consisting of a short basal portion, adnate to substratum, and a much longer free part (up to 2.5 mm high), sharply bending away from adnate part. Most hydrothecae with several widelyspaced renovations; hydrothecal aperture circular, rim even, though indistinctly everted. Upper side of adnate part provided with variable number of transverse striae. Coppinia absent. Remarks . Although the present material is sterile, I have tentatively assigned it to F. magnificum based on the dimensions of the hydrothecae.
