Material examined
: Stn 98, one stem fragment
9 mm
long with several hydrothecae, without coppinia (
NIWA
114754).
Description
: Stem fragment
9 mm
long, with hydrothecae arranged alternately in two planes forming a very open angle. Hydrotheca markedly curved outwards, tubular, free part cylindrical, diameter barely dwindling basally at adnate part. Hydrotheca adnate to internode for about two-thirds of its length. Free adcauline wall strongly convex; adnate part much less so. Abcauline wall concave, but nearly straight at basal part. Hydrothecal aperture circular, directed outwards, often parallel to longitudinal axis of branch; rim even, with up to four renovations.
Measurements (in µm)
:
Hydrothecae
: abcauline wall 680−700, free part of adcauline wall 230−350, adnate part of adcauline wall 550−570, adcauline wall 850−860, diameter at aperture 110−130, diameter at base 80.
Cnidome
(taken with × 40): putative macrobasic mastigophores, range 17.5–20 × 7.5.
Remarks
: The material consists of a single stem fragment,
9 mm
long; however, the specimen corresponds well to recent descriptions of the species by
Peña Cantero and Vervoort (2010)
and
Peña Cantero (2020)
. The species is well characterised by the shape and size of the hydrotheca and the size of the larger nematocysts (
e.g.
, 17–19 × 7–8 µm in
Peña Cantero and Vervoort 2010
).
Ecology and distribution
:
Acryptolaria minuta
has been collected from depths of 300 (
Peña Cantero and Vervoort 2010
) to
1422 m
(
Watson 2003
); present material from
676 to
750 m
.
This species has been previously recorded north of
Macquarie Island
(
Watson 2003
), from the Loyalty Islands and Norfolk Ridge areas (
Peña Cantero and Vervoort 2010
) and off Antipodes Island, southeast of
New Zealand
(
Peña Cantero 2020
). The material studied here was collected from Seamount 9 Hjort, south of
Macquarie Island
.
