Material examined. USNM 56422 About USNM , 46– 53 m, off Cape Lookout , North Carolina, March 1, 1961 .
Remarks. Bebryce parastellata colonies may occur in unbranched or sparsely branched forms. Colonies are white in alcohol and have small ( 1 mm) cylindrical calyces spaced 2–5 mm apart, generally along one side of the slender ( 1–2 mm) branch. The outer coenenchyme contains small (0.1 mm) cup-like sclerites with a base, with the concavity of the cup facing away from the axis. Other sclerites are bent, foliated spindles and stellate plates or crosses with a raised center, resembling a knob.
Atlantic distribution: North Carolina, 46–53 m; Gulf of Mexico ( Mississippi), 60–73 m ; Bahamas, 256– 586 m ; Cuba, 40 m –unknown depth; Barbados, 186 m ( type) ( Deichmann, 1936; NMNH collections) .
