most cases, occasionally 3, 6 or 7, thin, often detached, sometimes particularly long (up to 600 µm) and curved outwardly in well-preserved zooids. Ascopore proximal to orifice at a distance equal to orifice length or shorter, surrounded by a rim, often more raised proximally, lumen C-shaped with median process relatively large, rounded, rectangular or triangular, both spinous, sometimes with anastomosed denticles forming bars. Avicularium normally single, on the right or left, proximolateral to ascopore, rostrum directed distolaterally, truncated with tapered tip, a little longer than the maximum width of the membranous proximal area, crossbar complete and robust, mandible setiform, thin, moderately long (0.50.8 Az L), with lower side gutter-shaped (when dry), bearing at a distance corresponding to rostrum tip 2 pointed lateral processes curved basally. Ovicells with no visible oral spines, personate, i.e. with tall, arched, granular collar, distally adjacent to ascopore, raised over orifice and distally joined to smooth, arched rim on proximal edge of ooecium to form a complete peristome. Entooecium globose, broader than long, coarsely granular, evenly perforated with many pseudopores a little smaller than those of frontal wall. Secondary orifice transversally oval and narrower than primary orifice. Ancestrula tatiform with 10 or 11 spines, with narrow cryptocyst, budding two distolateral autozooids. In youngest periancestrular zooids, denticles of primary orifice are poorly prominent, resembling small rounded knobs, spine number generally 6 or 7, up to 8 (in one zooid).

However, paired avicularia can be exceptionally present, as observed in two non-ovicellate (i.e. not associated with distal ooecium) zooids from two different colonies of the Tadjoura material. The colonies from Tadjoura also differ in their zooidal dimensions, which are larger than those of specimens from the other localities. These two particular features in the Tadjoura material may correspond to a local geographical morphotype. The southeastern Mediterranean specimens are similar in all morphological features to those collected in the Indian Ocean.
