Treatment

Cigclisula psammophila ( Winston & Håkansson, 1986) View in CoL n. comb.

Cigclisula cf. turrita: Håkansson & Winston 1985: 130 View in CoL , fig. 5B. [ South Hutchinson Island , Florida]

Trematooecia psammophila Winston & Håkansson, 1986: 33 View in CoL , figs 76–80. [Capron Shoal, Florida]

Remarks. This species was originally assigned to Trematooecia owing to similarities with Trematooecia turrita sensu Winston (1984) (= Cigclisula winstonae n. sp.; see below). Cigclisula psammophila (Winston & Håkansson) n. comb. has encrusting colonies, a secondary orifice with solid tubercles and an ectooecium with a longitudinal band of irregular pseudopores, the latter morphological character a diagnostic feature of Cigclisula .

Cigclisula psammophila is distinguished from all congeners by its small size and the absence of avicularia ( Winston & Håkansson 1986). Colonies are found encrusting the convex surfaces or borders of sand grains ( Håkansson and Winston 1985; Winston and Håkansson 1986).

Distribution. Northwest Atlantic: Florida.
