long pinnulated section contains 13 pinnules, six on one side and seven on the other. The pinnules on the stem are situated in two lateral rows and are arranged in a regularly alternating pattern. The stem pinnules are inclined toward the distal end of the stem (with a distal angle of about 49° for the lowermost pinnules, decreasing to about 46° for the pinnules at the top). The length of the stem pinnules increases toward the middle of the corallum; the longest simple pinnule is

apart. The average density of the pinnules in each lateral row is three per centimeter, and four to five pinnules per centimeter for both rows. The planes containing the two rows of pinnules and pinnulated branches form an interior angle of 160 to 170°. The spines on the pinnules are concavely conical, with an acute apex; their base is flared out along the axis distally and proximally. They are arranged in regular rows, four or five of which are normally seen in lateral view. Within each row they are spaced at varying distances, from about 289 to 591 µm apart; they are more widely spaced towards the distal part of the pinnules. The pinnular spines are larger on the polyp side of the axis; polypar spines are 95 to 150 µm tall; abpolypar spines range from 40 to 116 µm. No additional small secondary spines are observed. Spines are also present on the stem, extending down to about

of the basal plate. Those nearest the basal plate are irregularly arranged in two or three rows, higher up they occur in more neat rows; three to five of which are visible in lateral view. The spines on the stem are larger on the polypar side of the corallum; most of them extend out perpendicularly, and only a few of them slant downward towards the base. The spines on the pinnules extend out perpendicularly or are slightly inclined distally. Due to the poor condition of the remaining soft tissue (the specimen is an almost clean skeleton), no characteristics of the polyps could be determined.

cf). The smaller size of the polypar spines and the absence of secondary spines, suggests that the Chilean specimen may represent a different species. Although spine size can be a valid species-level character, the examination of a larger suite of specimens is needed to eliminate the possibility that the differences reported here represent only intraspecific variability.

This work adds to the scarce information on black corals from the Peruvian province; the present record from northern Chile extends the biogeographical range of this species significantly southwards, and it suggests a continuous distribution of this species along the South American continental margin.
