| Summary: | Aplidium dissectum n. sp. (Figures 2,3) Material examined. Kamchatka, Avacha Bay: Starichkov Island, 10m, 15.09.2002 (Holotype KBPIG 1439/1); 13m, 20.06.2006, two colonies (Paratypes KBPIG 1440/2, 2006-06-20-01); Vilucha Bay, Laperusa Rock, 12m (Paratype KBPIG 1441/3, 2006-07-25-04). Description. Each colony is a group of low cushions or lobes closely adherent to each other. Each lobe is about 2 or 3 cm in the greatest diameter, but occasionally up to 8 cm. On preserved material the upper surface of the lobes is concave but more rounded on living specimens (Figure 3 D). Basally the lobes are joined and a colony is attached to substratum by not very large area. Sand grains may present on the sides of the lobes and at the base of the colony, but generally foreign particles are sparse and completely absent inside, and the upper surface of the colony is always clear. Living specimens are dull yellow-reddish, preserved in formaline are brownish with slight reddish tint. The common test of the living specimens is ... : Published as part of Sanamyan, Karen & Sanamyan, Nadya, 2011, Shallow-water species of the genus Aplidium (Ascidiacea) from Kamchatka and Commander Islands, pp. 41-50 in Zootaxa 2922 on pages 43-46, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.208009 ... |
