Rossella sp.

Material examined: All from ANDEEP III Exped., Weddell Sea, Antarctica , SMF 10613, and SMF 10601, R.V. 'Polarstern', stn PS67/133-2, Weddell Sea, Antarctica , 16 Mar. 2005, 62°46.49'–46.38'S, 53°02.57'–03.50'W, 1584– 1579 m, ethanol.

Description and remarks: Two additional fragments belonging to unidentifiable members of Rossella were collected. These fragments have surface spicules, hypodermalia, discohexasters and anisodiscohexasters characteristic of Rossella , but are lacking calycocomes and are severely contaminated with demosponge spicules. They cannot confidently be assigned to any of the known Rossella sp.
