Synonymy: Hymeniacidon ? hyalina Ridley and Dendy 1887: 168, pl. 45 fig. 6; Material. 1 specimen from station 048- 1 (SMF 11769), 602.1 m, 70 ° 23.94 ' S, 8 ° 19.14 ' W, 12.01. 2008, growing on the holotype of Cornulum antarcticum sp. nov (SMF 11770).

Description. A small sponge growing on the holotype of Cornulum antarcticum sp. nov. (see below), thickly encrusting with a distinct central apex. Elongate rounded, wrapped around the tube-shaped substrate. Spicules tylostyles of a considerable size variation, about 250 to 950 µm in length and about 15 to 30 µm in diameter. Remarks. This species shows an extremely wide, almost global distribution (van Soest 2002 d). This is probably due to the wide variance in characters and the relatively ambiguous species description by Ridley and Dendy (1886; 1887). The variance of characters in Antarctic specimens was furthermore extended by Kirkpatrick (1908) and later by Hentschel (1914), who described his specimens as a subspecies Pseudosuberites hyalinus var. compactus Hentschel, 1914. According to van Soest (2002 d), not ... |
