The lectotype is a colony 8.5 cm long and 7 cm wide, branching lateral and irregular and spreading in almost one plane (Fig. 10A). The main stem is 15 mm tall and 8 mm in diameter, it subdivides in three secondary branches, 5-7 mm in diameter, and then subdivides up to 6 times in an irregular manner producing subordinate branches, no more than 15 mm apart, at angles 35°-90°. These branches are of the same diameter, or thinner at the base and little thicker toward the tips, which are wide and clavate. The secondary branches are mostly crooked and curved upwards. About 1 cm oval portion of the holdfast remains. No anastomosis occurs. Unbranched terminal ends are 5-7 mm in diameter and 6-30 mm long. Axes are amber at the tips and darker at the base. Calyces are all around the branches, around 0.5 mm apart, not

(Fig. 10B). They are prominent, up to 3 mm long, and 1-2 mm wide at the base, covered with large spindles with sharp ends, some of them project from the outer side (abaxial) elongating the lower border. The calyx size and spacing vary from the larger branches to the thinner, being larger and acute, and closer arranged at the upper branches and shorter and more distant at the lower or main branches. Polyps are small, on the upper (adaxial) side of the calyces. Coenenchyme is thin, outer coenenchyme is composed basically by the calyx sclerites, they are orange and light brown, the larger are darker (Fig. 10

). The outer coenenchymal and calycular spindles are of diverse shapes, unilateral spinous, spinulose on the outer surface and tuberculate on the inner, with conspicuous forms with bifurcated ends or cuspidate prolongations. These spindles are 1.55-2.4 mm long and 0.20-0.32 mm wide (Fig. 11A). Furthermore modified prickly-spindles are present, 0.35-0.6 mm long and 0.1-0.22 mm wide, with lateral thorny processes (Fig. 11B) and some with bifurcated ends. The axial sheath is composed of small, light brown warty spindles, 0.3-0.53 mm long and 0.09-0.13 mm wide (Figs 10D, 11C). Anthocodial sclerites are light brown rods and whitish-

Valenciennes was a nomen nudum or an inexistent species. Consequently, Verrill was the author of the species, producing the first description. Many different specimens have been assigned to this species in museum collections because its status was not clearly defined. We designate the specimen YPM 1565d as the lectotype to establish the taxonomic status of
