| Summary: | Scrupocellaria reptans: a widespread or complex species? Scrupocellaria reptans has been reported from different localities in the Northeast Atlantic, North Sea and Mediterranean (Zabala & Maluquer 1988; Hayward & Ryland 1998), despite the morphological differences (e.g. shape of rhizoids and frontal scuta) among specimens from different areas. Hincks (1880, p. 52, pl. 7, figs 1–7) described two kinds of rhizoids (smooth and hooked) among British specimens of Scrupocellaria reptans. The “toothed” rhizoids (Hincks 1880, pl. 7, fig 6) are similar to those figured by Ellis (1755, 1756a, 1756b, 1767), as well as those observed in Linnaeus’s specimens (Figure 11) and other specimens from European waters (Figs 2, 16, 17). The hooked rhizoids were also reported in specimens from Cornwall, U.K. (Couch 1844, pl. 23, fig. 3). The second type of rhizoid was characterized by Hincks (1880) as “ …simple, and giving off at the extremity a number of anastomosing fibrils forming a netted disk ” and figured by him in ... : Published as part of Vieira, Leandro M. & Spencer, Mary E., 2012, The identity of Sertularia reptans Linnaeus, 1758 (Bryozoa, Candidae), pp. 26-42 in Zootaxa 3563 on pages 29-31, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.282940 ... |
