Identification (after Calder 1991)
Colonies stolonal; pedicels annulated basally and distally and smooth in the middle. Hydrothecae cone-shaped, walls convex just above the diaphragm, nearly straight elsewhere. Hydrothecal diaphragm straight, margin with 11–14 slender cusps separated by Ushaped incisions, with tips of cusps rounded. U-shaped pleat extending inwards into hydrothecal cavity. Gonotheca arising from hydrorhiza on short slender pedicels; gonothecal walls with distinct spiral ribs. Gonotheca with short tubular neck; distal end truncate.
Distribution
Previously reported from the west coast of the Gulf of California, Baja California ( Fraser 1938b), making it a new record for Baja California Sur. In the rest of the Gulf of California it has been recorded in Sonora ( Fraser 1948) and in the MP in Baja California, Baja California Sur, Colima, Jalisco, Oaxaca ( Fraser 1938a, 1948), and Guerrero ( Salcedo-Martínez et al. 1988).
