Material
examined.
Seven
colonies (NIBRIV0000805891, MBRBKW17–22),
Munseom Island
,
Jeju
,
20 m
, collected by
Ho Jin Yang.
Description.
Colony encrusting, multiserial, unilaminar, pale creamy-orange, up to
16 mm
across. Autozooids more or less elongate-rectangular, often narrower proximally. Frontal shield non-pseudoporous with up to 26 areolar-septular pores around zooidal margin; 6–13 on each lateral margin, 5–8 distally or not apparent at all. Shield surface evenly coarsely granular. Orifice semi-cleithridiate, with high-arched anter separated from poster by stout, angular condyles; poster a broad rounded-V shape, shaped like round cleaver or more angular, sometimes wider than anter. Usually small narrow area of frontal wall distal to orifice. No oral spines.
Avicularia lateral to anter, always paired, inclined obliquely toward distal arch of anter; sides of rostrum raised, elongate-triangular, tip rounded, no crossbar, just angular pivots, with smooth, descending opesial cryptocyst. Occasionally an avicularium replaced by much larger, more-elongate avicularium with expanded cystid that is angled, rarely slightly curving, past orifice; zooids bearing enlarged avicularia wider than normal. Gymnocystal margins of avicularia continuous with smooth peristomial rim.

FIGURE 32.
Stephanollona boreopacifica
n. sp.
, holotype, Munseom Island, showing a six-spined autozooidal orifice (right), ovicellate orifices and two types of adventitious avicularia. Scale bars: 28, 500 µm; 29, 400 µm; 30, 31, 100 µm; 32, 300 µm.
Female zooids dimorphic, with much broader, angular poster; ovicell concealed, but frontal area above ovicell larger than in ordinary autozooids
Ancestrula not seen.
Measurements.
ZL 303–479 (400) µm; ZW 179–296 (261) µm; OrL 80–108 (94) µm; OrW 49–70 (62) µm;
♀
OrL 87–108 (98) µm;
♀
OrW 58–76 (68) µm; AvL 85–270 (135) µm; AvW 33–81 (50) µm.
Remarks.
Our material accords in all respects with the unique characteristics described by
Tilbrook (2006)
in material from western New
Guinea
and the islands of
Flores
and Halmahera. It also had dimorphic orifices and two sizes of avicularia on autozooids.
