Material examined . Stn.8 : 0 5.12.2009 , 17 m—numerous cormoids to 4 cm high, some bearing corbulae, on unidentified substrate (parts as MHNG-INVE-68734 and MNHN-IK.2009-811). Remarks . For synonymy and a description of its trophosome, see Calder (1997) . The corbula has been briefly, though correctly described and illustrated by both Jäderholm (1903 , as Aglaophenia cylindrata Versluys, 1899 ) and Vervoort (1968) , while the accounts and figures provided by Allman (1877) and Nutting (1900, as A. rathbuni ) are misleading. Ideally, its highly complex structure should be thoroughly described based on images obtained by scanning electron microscopy. Figure 8I shows a lateral view of the corbula. Caribbean records .
