| Summary: | Mycale jasoniae sp. nov. (Fig. 14 a–f) Material Holotype: USNM 1084238 (51° 19.808' N, 179° 30.658' W, Amchitka Pass, 208 m depth, 0 3. 0 8. 2004). Description The holotype consists of two large and one small, yellow colored tubes (Fig. 14 a), basally connected. The surface is bulbous and the consistency rather soft, easily torn, fibrous. After freezing the specimen is now (Fig. 14 b), about 23 x 16 x 14 cm with irregularly distributed, conical processes. The color now is a darker yellow, with darker and lighter areas, some almost white. The specimen was attached to a cobble at the base. Skeleton: The ectosome is a tangential arrangement of short spicule tracts and single spicules with many microscleres in between.The choanosome consists of rather short spicule tracts, 60–95 µm in diameter which are frequently branching off side tracts and are running in all directions. This pattern is obscured by many single mega and microscleres in between without any recognizable orientation. Spicules: Megascleres are ... : Published as part of Lehnert, Helmut, Stone, Robert & Heimler, Wolfgang, 2006, New species of deepsea demosponges (Porifera) from the Aleutian Islands (Alaska, USA), pp. 1-35 in Zootaxa 1250 on pages 23-27, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.173010 ... |
