Corella brewinae n. sp. Figs 4 B, 7, 8, 9. Material examined - Amsterdam Island SE, 11/01/ 1972, 80m, coll. Beurois. Syntypes (MNHN P4 COR.A 12) - New Zealand, Otago harbour, wharf, 2012, coll. A. Wood. - Stewart Island, 1875, coll. Filhol. - 54°31’S –159°00 E, 110m, 18/06/1968, Eltanin survey USA. The body shape varies but is more or less oval. The specimens up to 5cm in length are often found in aggregates of different sizes, and these clusters (Fig 4 B) are very similar to those of C. eumyota living in the same habitat. In life, the tunic is not completely smooth but wears irregular small papillae. The colour is pale yellow. Both siphons have 6 lobes. The oral aperture is apical and the atrial siphon opens at mid distance of the dorsal line. The body wall is thin and the musculature is visible through it (Fig. 7 A). Apart from the siphon sphincters, the muscles are essentially located over the left side with interlaced fibres grouped in ribbons (Fig 7 A). On the anterior part of the right side some ... : Published as part of Monniot, Françoise, 2013, The genus Corella (Ascidiacea, Phlebobranchia, Corellidae) in the Southern Hemisphere with description of a new species, pp. 135-149 in Zootaxa 3702 (2) on pages 142-145, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3702.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/247031 ...
