<p class="HeadingRunIn" align="left">Cradoscrupocellaria, a new bryozoan genus for Scrupocellaria bertholletii (Audouin) and related species (Cheilostomata, Candidae): taxonomy, biodiversity and distribution

Abstract: A new genus, Cradoscrupocellaria n. gen., is erected for Scrupocellaria bertholletii (Audouin, 1826), reported as widespread in tropical and subtropical waters. Here we select a neotype of this species in order to establish its identity and distinguish it from morphologically similar species. We include redescriptions and figures of additional species now assigned to this new genus: Cradoscrupocellaria curacaoensis (Fransen, 1986) n. comb., Cradoscrupocellaria hirsuta (Jullien & Calvet, 1903) n. comb., and Cra… Show more

“…This genus is characterized by the presence of (i) articulate distal unbranched spines, (ii) a branched scutum arising from midline of the inner edge of the opesia, (iii) a trapezoidal vibracular chamber, (iv) single axial vibraculum, and (v) an ooecium with some ectooecial pores [24]. Character 16 (the shape of the scutum arising at the median region of opesia) is plesiomorphic for character state 1, found in majority of species, while character state 2 and 3 are apomorphic and have an independent origin.…”

“…Hooked rhizoids have been considered a phenotypical variation among Scrupocellaria species [26]. This character, however, distinguishes some species of Candidae [23], [24], [37].…”

“…shaped like an arrowhead, Table 1). As known in other bryozoan genera (e.g., Vieira et al 2013, the analysis and characterization the morphology of the ovicell/ooecia are needed to make a taxonomic assignment. In the absence of fertile colonies, it is difficult to assign specimens to any known species using only autozooidal characteristics.…”
