Ptoboroa
Gordon and d’Hondt, 1997
Ptoboroa
Gordon and d’Hondt, 1997: 70
, pl. 47F, G, 48A.
Type
species.
Trochosodon pulchrior
Gordon, 1989: 81
(original designation).
Remarks
. No species of
Ptoboroa
has been found in the present collections.
P. pulchrior
from
New Zealand
is strikingly similar to a species of
Batopora
from stations SLOPE-6 and SLOPE-7 but differs in the possession of an adapical pore, indicating its closer association with the
Conescharellinidae
, particularly
Trochosodon
, in the development and form of its ovicells (Bock and Cook, in press).
