| Summary: | Coelosphaera (Histodermion) kigushimkada n. sp. (Figs. 10 & 11, Table 4) Material examined. Holotype (ZSM 20150388) and paratype (ZSM 20150389), collected by Brian Knoth with a research survey bottom trawl (haul #15) from the FV Ocean Explorer; 13 June 2012, 265 m depth, 11 km west of Cape Kigushimkada, Umnak Island, eastern Aleutian Islands, Bering Sea (53°07.0560' N, 168°58.4400' W). Water temperature = 3.7°C. Complete specimens in ethanol. Description. Habitus: A globular, golden-yellow sponge with a surface covered with thin, flattened fistules. Two specimens were collected, the larger (holotype) measures 6–6.4 cm in diameter and 4.8 cm in height, the smaller (paratype) with a maximum diameter of 4.4 cm attains a height of 2.3 cm (Fig. 10 A). Long fistules are 4–7 cm in length, 1.5–3 mm in diameter and are separated at distances of about 2–3 mm. Shorter fistules are recognisable in between long fistules starting from below 1 mm with intermediate lengths up to long fistules. We assume the growth of ... : Published as part of Lehnert, Helmut & Stone, Robert P., 2015, New species of sponges (Porifera, Demospongiae) from the Aleutian Islands and Gulf of Alaska, pp. 451-483 in Zootaxa 4033 (4) on pages 468-469, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4033.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/253595 ... |
