Bougainvilliidae undetermined (Fig. 2 d–e) Material examined. ANT XVII/3: 111-9, one stem, c. 5 mm high, with gonophores; 111-19, some stems, up to 8 mm high, on Schizotricha unifurcata Allman, 1883 and Symplectoscyphus weddelli Peña Cantero, Svoboda & Vervoort, 2002, with gonophores; ANT XXI/2: PS65/39, some stems, up to 3 mm high, on Symplectoscyphus exochus Blanco, 1982; PS65/248, some stems, up to 10 mm high, on Halecium incertus Naumov & Stepanjants, 1962, Stegella lobata (Vanhöffen, 1910) and Symplectoscyphus curvatus (Jäderholm, 1917), with gonophores; PS65/280, few stems, up to 3 mm high; PS65/336, one stem, c. 3 mm high, on Symplectoscyphus glacialis (Jäderholm, 1904).
