039D1736247EA86DFF5AF6C1FC2A134F.taxon	description	Description. Colony initially encrusting, ramifying, forming biserial lobes by branching laterally on the substratum from the primary branch that originates from the ancestrula, which has not been seen. Once the basal parts of a colony are established, an erect biserial branch is formed, accompanied by the development of robust kenozooidal calcification at its base, 0.92 – 0.93 mm in diameter. Branching dichotomous. Erect branches attaining 10 – 15 mm in height, straight or curving, angled at c. 45 degrees to the substratum, subtriangular in cross section near the base of the branch, becoming subcircular to circular in cross section in distal parts; diameter of erect branches distal to first bifurcation 0.49 – 0.62 mm. Zooidal peristomes 0.14 – 0.15 mm diameter, borne only on the frontal sides of branches, arranged in pairs that are deflected alternately to left and right of the branch axis, the frontalmost peristome of each pair longer than the one beneath it, their openings facing abfrontally. Gonozooids sporadic, occurring frontally at branch dichotomies, brood chamber subglobular, 0.99 – 1.17 mm in diameter, densely pseudoporous, the ooeciostome simple, 0.16 mm in diameter, opening mid-distally, the ooeciopore circular.	en	Gordon, Dennis P., Taylor, Paul D.

039D1736247EA86DFF5AF6C1FC2A134F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Colonies are distinctive and easily recognised, not only because of their general size and morphology but because of the tan coloration of older parts of branches in many instances, whereas distal parts are always white. The generic attribution of this species is problematic. Two Recent genera can be ruled out, Exidmonea because of its more complex gonozooids, and Tervia because the gonozooids of this genus are on the dorsal sides of the branches. The type species of Filicisparsa is from the Late Cretaceous (Santonian to Upper Maastrichtian) of western Europe. Its erect branches have laterally alternating pinnules — short lateral projections comprising a small cluster of 4 – 5 zooidal peristomes — and sparse apertures on the frontal sides of the branch, which is not the case in the new species. Brood chambers are somewhat globular and borne frontally on branches. The species from the Chatham Rise resembles F. sommerae in overall colonial morphology, i. e. having erect, dichotomously branching colonies with zooids on one side only, no dorsal kenozooids, and a similar frontally borne brood chamber. The ‘ pinnules’ in our material comprise only a pair of peristomes, not a cluster, and there are no frontal apertures; furthermore, the frontally borne brood chambers are located at branch bifurcations. To create yet another new monotypic genus of Cyclostomata would highlight the apparent differences between the Late Cretaceous species and our Recent material but would not otherwise advance our understanding of their actual relationships. Accordingly, we provisionally use Filicisparsa for the Recent specimens from the Chatham Rise.	en	Gordon, Dennis P., Taylor, Paul D.

039D1736247EA86AFF5AF0C9FE5F109A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. While Diastoporidae and Plagioeciidae have generally been regarded as synonymous, molecular evidence (Waeschenbach et al. 2009) suggests that the two families may differ: Plagioecia falls within a major clade that also contains Lichenoporidae and Densiporidae, whereas the other sequenced genera (Cardioecia, Diplosolen, Entalophoroecia) traditionally assigned to Plagioeciidae belong to a second major clade that contains Frondipora and Horneridae. The type genus of Diastoporidae is a Jurassic – Cretaceous fossil. However, morphologically it appears closer to Cardioecia and Entalophoroecia than to Plagioecia. Therefore, we provisionally recognise Diastoporidae and Plagioeciidae as distinct families pending a more complete study of cyclostome phylogeny.

039D1736247EA86AFF5AF0C9FE5F109A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. A new monotypic genus is introduced here for the following species. It invites comparison with Penciletta Gray, 1848 (Tubuliporidae), the type species of which, P. penicillata (Fabricius, 1780), has an oligo- to pluriserial encrusting portion with erect peristomes; from this base arise one or more erect capitula, each with an apical disc. The brood chamber in fertile colonies occupies much of this disc, ramifying between the short rows of connate peristomes. Discantenna differs most significantly from Penciletta in the form of the brood chamber, which is more “ diastoporiform ”, being transversely elongate with a short, cowl-like ooeciostome. The genus Plagioecia Canu, 1918 contains some species with erect branches but these arise from an initial radially encrusting colony and the brood chamber is pierced by zooidal peristomes. Discantenna is not included in the Oncousoeciidae because the brood chamber is transversely elongate and, while not pierced by zooidal peristomes, is crossed by at least one peristome so that the brood chamber appears on either side of it.	en	Gordon, Dennis P., Taylor, Paul D.

039D17362479A869FF5AF273FBAA1393.taxon	description	Description. Colony with a narrow encrusting base, initially uniserial, becoming biserial, up to 2 mm long, its distal end developing an erect column that flares outwards at its summit as a shallow, circular discoidal structure, 2.57 mm diameter, in which zooids are centripetally arranged; colony height 2.46 mm. Ancestrula with a subcircular protoecium, large, 0.19 mm wide, the peristome angled upwards relative to the substratum, its distal end upturned frontally, the aperture transversely oval, the sides of the peristome produced as an expanded lamina on either side. The first budded autozooid is orientated at 45 ° to the axis of the ancestrula; it initiates biseriality by budding two daughter zooids in quick succession, their respective peristomes directed alternately to the left and right; succeeding peristomes likewise alternate, forming about 10 in all before budding the conical capitulum. As each peristome forms it is produced at a higher elevation from the substratum than the preceding one so that, from the side, the colony appears stepped, the peristomes being supported upon a solid crest of calcium carbonate that spreads somewhat laterally upon the substratum; all external skeletal surfaces pseudoporous. Free peristome length up to 0.67 mm, aperture diameter 0.08 mm. Apical disk bereniciform; long zooidal peristomes (free peristome length up to 0.60 mm) angled obliquely outwards from the depressed centre of the disk; peripheral common bud thin, with a narrow marginal lamina pierced by pseudopores and a skeletal microstructure of distally imbricated foliated crystallites. Brood chamber simple, oval (0.72 mm wide in transverse direction), densely pseudoporous, not pierced by zooidal peristomes but at least one peristome may cross its surface; ooeciostome 0.08 mm wide, terminal and medial, its cowl-like distal rim concealing the ooeciopore.	en	Gordon, Dennis P., Taylor, Paul D.

039D17362475A864FF5AF6DCFB2914AA.taxon	description	Description. Colony erect, up to 4 mm high and 3.3 mm wide, infundibuliform; the proximal end tapering to 0.26 mm diameter and anchored by a short encrusting base and the expanded distal end with a funnel-like whorl of irregular fascicles of zooidal peristomes; one or more subcolonies may originate from individual fascicles. Colony anchored by a small attachment base to a hard substratum (rocks, encrusting bryozoans), the stem comprising a bundle of long zooidal peristomes that are partly or wholly enveloped in a thin calcareous layer; peristomes with transverse growth lines, all exterior walls pseudoporous, with more pseudopores visible in transparency in transmitted light than externally by SEM. Ancestrular protoecium transversely oval, evident in young colonies, the peristome long, extending the full length of the stem; daughter and later zooids budded behind the peristome, their proximal ends cemented to the substratum and to each other by common calcification. Stem becoming infundibuliform distally as more zooids are budded axially. Colony centre concave, comprising obliquely polygonal zooidal apertures that face the colony periphery; these can become calcified over. Radial fascicles numbering 6 – 7, slender, the zooidal peristomes not connate through their length, the terminal portion free with circular aperture 0.10 – 0.11 mm diameter, some of the more proximal openings with very short apertures that can be calcified over as the colony becomes older. Brood chamber 0.7 – 1.11 mm in diameter, occupying much of the colony centre, ventricose, not pierced by zooidal peristomes, its densely pseudoporous exterior-walled surface initially with a clear perimeter that can become less discrete as a layer of thin surface calcification develops across it; ooeciostome 0.33 mm wide, set in the margin of the brood chamber, transversely oval, sometimes adjacent to an autozooidal peristome.	en	Gordon, Dennis P., Taylor, Paul D.

039D17362475A864FF5AF6DCFB2914AA.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The generic and family attributions of this species are uncertain. There are two genera whose species have a similar colony form — Supercytis d’Orbigny, 1853, with the Late Cretaceous type species S. digitata d’Orbigny, 1853, and Telopora Canu & Bassler, 1920, with the Recent type species Supercytis watersi Harmer, 1915 (see Taylor & Grischenko 1999). The major obvious difference is in the brood chamber, which is traversed by zooidal peristomes in Telopora. The New Zealand shallow coastal / shelf species Supercytis lobata (Tenison-Woods, 1880) has been attributed to Telopora (Gordon et al. 2009) because, while zooidal peristomes do not open above the brood chamber as in T. watersi, they nevertheless pass through the brood chamber to the level of the roof, where they are sealed. Similarly, Supercytis savii Ramalho, Muricy & Taylor, 2009 from Brazil was attributed to Supercytis by its authors mainly because the gonozooid is simple and not traversed by peristomes; unlike S. digitata, however, the brood chamber in S. savii is inflated, lacking a clear boundary, and apparently located at a branch bifurcation, not in the colony centre. The brood chamber of S. gracilis is more like that of S. digitata in having a clear boundary, and, in all three species, the ooeciopore is against the margin of the brood chamber; that in S. digitata lacks an ooeciostome (raised rim). Historically, Supercytis was included in the cancellate family Cytididae (d’Orbigny 1853, Harmer 1915, as Cytisidae; Bassler 1953) but Cytis d’Orbigny, 1854 has a very different colony form and non-feeding surfaces of kenozooids. In contrast, Canu & Bassler (1920) included Supercytis watersi (i. e., Telopora), in their family Tretocycloeciidae (= Heteroporidae) (suborder Cerioporina) — a taxon with which it has little in common. The family attribution of both Supercytis and Telopora remains to be clarified.	en	Gordon, Dennis P., Taylor, Paul D. (2010): New seamount- and ridge-associated cyclostome Bryozoa from New Zealand.

Fascicles arising at intervals of about 1.5 – 3.5 mm from each other depending on the irregularity of the substratum, about 0.6 – 2.2 mm high and 0.78 – 0.87 mm in diameter, with about 7 – 11 peristomes occurring in a cluster at the flattish summit; a few other peristomes opening at intervals on the stem. Peristome diameter 0.13 – 0.16 mm, whether in ramifying or erect portions of colony. Gonozooid borne at the top of an erect fascicle, brood chamber ventricose, 0.84 mm in diameter, the ooeciostome subcircular, 0.15 mm diameter. Ancestrula not seen but immediate post-ancestrular zooids preserved in one colony; branch width rapidly increases to incorporate several zooids adnate to the substratum before the first fascicle is produced; a branch bifurcation occurs near the base of the fascicle and all subsequent branching is generally of this nature except that not all fascicles are succeeded by a bifurcation.	en	Gordon, Dennis P., Taylor, Paul D.

039D17362477A864FF5AF509FB7C1377.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Relatively few species of Filifascigera have been described. The type species is from the Paleocene of New Jersey. Canu & Bassler (1929) attributed six other species to the genus, ranging in stratigraphic distribution from the Cretaceous to the present day. Osburn (1953) recognised two more Recent species, and Brood (1972) and Taylor & McKinney (2006) have named additional Cretaceous species. Of the five putative Recent species, nominally from Ireland, the Pacific coast of America, Hawaii and the Philippines, F. brevicaudex differs from them particularly in the dimensions of the fascicles and numbers of peristomes in each fascicle. The two Philippines species illustrated by Canu & Bassler (1929) have no peristomes emerging from the stem of the fascicle. In F. clarionensis from California, the brood chamber occurs between a close pair of fascicles, extending from one fascicle to the next (Osburn 1953).	en	Gordon, Dennis P., Taylor, Paul D.

039D17362471A862FF5AF401FA1013BA.taxon	description	Description. Colony encrusting, circular, up to 3.47 mm in diameter, frequently supported by basal struts and typically forming smaller subcolonies above the primary layer so that a fully formed colony can resemble a three-tiered wedding cake in profile; zooids arranged more or less quincuncially, with short series (2 – 3) of zooidal peristomes separated by kenozooids; subcolonies 0.56 – 1.29 mm in height. Young colonies fully or partially adnate, depending on substratum irregularity, surrounded by a thin, planar or upturned marginal lamina. Colony centre mainly comprising thick-walled kenozooids with rounded outlines; kenozooidal apertures 0.15 – 0.17 mm in diameter, reduced or closed by smooth calcification; open kenozooids with pinhead mural spines on wall interiors. Autozooidal peristomes 0.08 – 0.11 mm in diameter, the apertures circular; some sealed by terminal diaphragms with radial surface fabric. Marginal lamina in some colonies with several indentations, marking shafts that descend to the substratum as hollow narrow props or broad struts. Skeletal ultrastructure of lamina comprising imbricating platey crystallites; these relatively large between developing lateral walls of zooidal chambers, minute and narrowly lath-like to granular where walls develop. Budding of subcolonies takes place from a kenozooid and its quincuncial neighbours in the macular centre of the primary colony. The subcolony spreads across a quarter to a third of the parent colony, raising itself above it as a shallow dish. The only gonozooid encountered in this species was in the middle tier of a three-tiered colony (holotype), near the edge; brood chamber is short (0.45 mm) and very wide (1.33 mm) with a raised rim and has a densely pseudoporous exterior-walled surface and relatively large round ooeciopore, 0.09 mm in diameter, atop a short ooeciostome.	en	Gordon, Dennis P., Taylor, Paul D.

Colony erect, up to 3.5 mm high, with an apron-like base, columnar, devoid of zooidal apertures in the column, topped by a capitulum of open zooids that, depending on its width (up to 2.8 mm in diameter), results in a clavate or fungiform shape for the distal half of the colony. Base of colony comprising a small circular disc (2.91 mm diameter), the lower part of the column smooth or somewhat pedunculate, the remainder generally with short rounded protuberances marking the locations of occluded apertures. All surfaces interior-walled. Capitulum comprising short autozooidal peristomes in quincunx with kenozooids, the openings of which are of variable diameter depending on the degree of closure by calcification. Autozooids opening more or less around the periphery of the capitulum in well-formed colonies, the apertures circular, 0.10 – 1.12 mm in diameter. Capitulum surface relatively planar in infertile colonies, more domed in fertile colonies. Gonozooids 1 – 3 per colony, produced sequentially, brood chambers ventricose, their surfaces generally with a small, flat, circular depressed area 0.72 – 1.12 mm in diameter, bordered by a rim, within which is the ooeciopore, 0.09 mm in diameter. Floor of brood chamber smooth. Ancestrula not seen.	en	Gordon, Dennis P., Taylor, Paul D. (2010): New seamount- and ridge-associated cyclostome Bryozoa from New Zealand.

039D17362472A861FF5AF53CFDF31302.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The genus is scarcely known. Borg (1944) introduced Dartevellia monotypically for several infertile colonies of a small columnar bryozoan on a gastropod shell from 8 m depth off Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Borg’s species is illustrated only by very poor half-tone photographs. They have the general form of the Chatham Rise colonies here attributed to Dartevellopora but, although Borg’s description is comprehensive, the lack of proper illustrations makes some aspects of his description ambiguous. For example, he mentions the column in D. cylindrica as “ rising from a Tubulipora - like initial growth ” but that the “ proximal portion of the peduncle is surrounded by at least two layers of kenozooids, one outside the other ” and “ the surface of the peduncle ” is “ marked by numerous longitudinal septal lines. ” A kenozooid layer is not externally visible in D. neozelanica, which otherwise conforms to D. cylindrica in the unique colony shape, the capitulum with a relatively small number of autozooids, the occurrence of kenozooids in the capitulum, and the rarity of pseudopores.	en	Gordon, Dennis P., Taylor, Paul D.

039D1736246FA87AFF5AF4A4FDB015A1.taxon	description	Description. Colony small, circular, generally with a single macular centre, but a secondary macula can develop in fertile colonies. Maximum diameter 1.9 mm. Completely adnate, with entire basal surface affixed to substratum. Frontal surface granular-tubercular. Fertile colonies with only 15 – 16 autozooidal peristomes in 1 – 2 cycles around the colony periphery, radiating outwards, the apertural rims coarsely fimbriated. Colony centre hummocky, with small openings (kenozooidal?) in the depressions. Autozooidal peristomes up to 0.19 mm in external diameter; apertures 0.08 mm in internal diameter. Gonozooid comprising a subglobular sac-like brood chamber, 0.38 mm wide, 0.44 – 0.47 mm long, prominent on the colony surface near the periphery, not embedded; exterior surface calcification granulartubercular like the rest of the colony, the ooeciopore very broad, wider (0.12 – 0.16 mm) than long, set low on the side facing the colony margin, the narrow rim of the ooeciostome very thin with little granulation. Ancestrula not seen.	en	Gordon, Dennis P., Taylor, Paul D. (2010): New seamount- and ridge-associated cyclostome Bryozoa from New Zealand.

039D1736246FA87AFF5AF4A4FDB015A1.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Gordon & Taylor (2001) described the known species of Lichenoporidae from New Zealand, comprising five species of Disporella and one of Doliocoitis. Two of the Disporella species are quite small — D. humilis, from 107 mm on Puysegur Bank, has a maximum diameter of 2.5 mm; D. sacculus, from 972 – 1350 m at the Norfolk and Kermadec Ridges and the Bay of Plenty, achieves 5 mm diameter — but both of these species have concealed brood chambers, although D. sacculus has 1 – 3 sequentially functional brood chambers that are somewhat saccate. The closest species in morphology to D. minicamera is Disporella minima Moyano, 1991; it is equally tiny (not exceeding 2 mm diameter) and has an inflated sac-like gonozooid that is not concealed by kenozooids and secondary calcification. Its brood chamber is located entirely in the macular centre of the colony. Moyano (1991) noted some apparent differences between D. minima and other species of Disporella, suggesting that D. minima could represent a new genus. This possibility occurred to the present authors but we think that D. minima and D. minicamera can be accommodated within Disporella on the grounds that: 1. The small size and saccular nature of the brood chamber is probably no more than a consequence of small colony size: large colonies, large chambers; small colonies, small chambers. 2. The occurrence of the brood chamber on the surface of the colony instead of being embedded in it is probably also associated with small colony size and limited growth; large species have the capacity for increase in colony thickness, such that frontal growth of kenozooidal chambers can be achieved relatively quickly, partially or wholly concealing brood-chamber surfaces. 3. Schäfer (1991) showed that the brood chamber in Disporella species has a definite floor, unlike the situation in Patinella (Lichenopora auctt.); the floor of the brood chamber in D. minicamera conforms to that of other Disporella species.	en	Gordon, Dennis P., Taylor, Paul D.

039D17362469A87AFF5AF57CFEA11102.taxon	description	Description. Colony exceedingly tiny, comprising just five autozooids and a central gonozooid, supported on a smooth, short pedestal. Typical cancelli lacking, but five small pores present, one basal to each zooidal aperture. Peristomes relatively thick-walled, with up to five short, blunt processes; all exterior surfaces of zooidal disc relatively coarsely granular. Brood chamber small, oval, its granular surface merging into that of the peristomes that surround it, the ooeciostome circular, smooth with a thin rim.	en	Gordon, Dennis P., Taylor, Paul D.

039D17362469A87AFF5AF57CFEA11102.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species is so far known only from the type locality, which yielded a single fertile colony. It is unquestionably the smallest cyclostome species known ― in fact the smallest calcified bryozoan known ― and the entire colony could easily fit inside an individual zooid of most cheilostome species; its individual zooids are smaller than the mature zooids of the interstitial ctenostome bryozoan Monobryozoon ambulans (see Hayward 1985) which has minute colonies with only one autozooid. The generic attribution is uncertain. The zooids of D. minutissima closely resemble those of D. minicamera but the smooth basal pedestal is lacking in this species. The pedestal, which is exterior-walled, may be homologous with the conical peduncle of the Cretaceous – Miocene genus Lichenopora (Gordon & Taylor 1997). The ooeciostome of D. minutissima is round, quite unlike the broad transverse opening in D. minicamera.	en	Gordon, Dennis P., Taylor, Paul D.
