Mycale relicta Annandale, 1924: 405, fig. 3; Pattanayak 2009: 26.

Summary description. Encrusting on a dead branch in a brackish lake (salinity 22.8%o), thickness 3 cm. Skeleton largely macerated and containing ingrown algal thallus. Mycalostyles fusiform with wide axial canal, 216–383 x 7–10 µm. Anisochelae, narrow, with lower median alae pointed and shape ‘retroverted’, in a single size 20–26 µm (not in rosettes). Sigmas, thin, in a single size, 44–60 µm.

Distribution. Verlaten Island, near Krakatoa, Western Indonesia, in brackish lake.

Comment. Again hard to distinguish from M. (C.) maunakea and M. (C.) mytilorum, but its peculiar chelashape may indicate specific distinctness.
