description: Polytes ruth (Breddin)
(Fig. 110-114)
Pachycoris ruth Breddin 1903b: 366; Schouteden 1904b: 49 (listed); Bergroth 1908: 141 (listed); Kirkaldy 1909: 286 (listed); Gaedike 1971: 98 (lectotype and paralectotype designated). NEW COMBINATION.
Description. Dorsum orangetoredexceptfollowing black structures: head; coria;connexiva; broad band along anterolateralandanteriormargins of pronotum; broad,mesial,longitudinalband on pronotum; narrow bandonposteriorandposterolateral pronotal margins;lanceolateprojection extending Va to % 0 distance from posterior to anterior margins of colored areaonpronotum; sinuous band on anteriormarginofscutellum; small, oblong macule nearapexofscutellum, thisusually connected to anterior marginbythin, mesialline. Dorsal punctation moderatelydense,concolorous in black areas, concoloroustoslightlydarkerthan surrounding surfacein orangetoredareas.Venter black except thin marginallineonabdomenand basal Ms of rostrum pale yellow. Length 9.5 - 10.8.
Head broadly rounded anteriorly, relativelyshort; length 2.1-2.3, width acrosseyes2.9 -3.1. Length of antennal segments 1-5: 0.6;0.6;0.6-0.7; 1.1 - 1.3; 1.3-1.5. Rostrum reachingorslightlysurpassing anterior margin of2ndvisibleabdominalsternite.
Pronotum 3.0-3.4 long atmeson,6.3-6.6 wide across humeri. Anterolateralmarginsconvex,distinctly carinate, carina frequently pale.Coxae slightly lighter than supportingpleura,remainder of legs uniformly black.
Scutellum 6.2-6.7 long atmeson,6.0 -6.3 broad at widest point.
Posterior margin of genitalcupwithshallow, mesial emargination (Fig. 110and111), convex laterally in dorsal view. Head of parameres elongate, inner surface shagreened (Fig. 112). Sclerotized apices of 2nd conjunctival diverticula large, stout, acute apically (Fig. 113). Sclerotized apices of 3rd conjunctival diverticula thin, elongate, acute apically (Fig. 114).
Type Material. The lectotype and paralectotype of Pachycoris ruth, designated by Gaedike (1971), are both males in DEI and were examined.
Distribution. Peru, Bolivia.
Comment. The dorsal coloration of this species is distinctive and is apparently relatively consistent. It is the largest species of the P. fenestra group. The simple proctiger places this species in Polytes rather than Pachycoris.

description: Polytes cingulicornis Bergroth, nomen dubium(Fig. 115-116)
Polytes cingulicornis Bergroth 1904: 354; Schouteden 1904b: 50 (listed); Bergroth 1908: 142 (list-ed); Kirkaldy 1909: 286 (listed).
Comment. Bergroth's type, a female from Brazil, was not located. His description does not fit any existing species of Polytes. However, specimens from Brazil matching his description were examined. These specimens almost certainly belong in Tetyra, and P. cingulicornis probably belongs in the latter genus. That this species does not belong in Polytes is further supported by the fact that no other species of Polytes is found in Brazil (with the possible exception of P. obscurus), and Bergroth based his species on a female specimen. Females are rare in Polytes and are not known for most species.

Type material. Holotype: ♂ New South Wales: “ CSIRO Exp. Fm., Wilton, N. S. W., 6.4.1972, [leg.] V. J. Robinson;” “Gen.präp. [genitalia slide] Gaedike Nr. 9165;” “ Holotypus ♂, Gnathifera robinsoni sp. n., det. R. Gaedike 2018;” ANIC.
Description. (Fig. 13). Wingspan 11 mm.
Head pale cream-coloured, scales on neck with white tips; labial palpus externally cream-coloured, internally nearly white; antenna with pecten, flagellum ringed.
Thorax and tegulae also cream-coloured, tips of thorax and tegulae white; forewing narrow, with creamcoloured ground-colour, a pattern partly rubbed off, visible only as brown smaller patches near base above dorsum and at 1/4 below costa; a minute dark brown dot at the end of cell and at apex; hindwing light grey.
Male genitalia (Fig. 29). Uncus straight, with rounded tip, gnathos broad, apically rounded, with numerous minute bristles; juxta U-shaped, the arms apically edged inwards with pointed tip; valval ventral and costal margins parallel, ventral edge 3/4 of the length of costal edge, then curved and narrowed to apex with two short bristled lobes, a rod-shaped sclerotization below the second lobe; phallus nearly two times longer than valva, straight, apex arrow-tip-shaped.
Female genitalia. Unknown.
Diagnosis. As the pattern of forewing is partly rubbed off, the new species externally is hard to distinguish from the other members of the genus. Clear differences are seen in the genitalia structure: the U-shaped juxta and the arrow-shaped tip of phallus are unique characters among the species belonging to the acacivorella species group.
Distribution. New South Wales.
Bionomics. The early stages and host plants are unknown.
Etymology. This species is named in honour of the collector, V. J. Robinson.

Type material. Holotype: ♂, Australian Capital Territory: “ Mt. Gingera, A. C. T. 5600ft. 22.10.1968, [leg.] V. J. Robinson & I. F. B. Common;” “Gen.präp. [genitalia slide] Gaedike Nr. 9172;” “ Holotypus ♂, Gnathifera montana sp. n., det. R. Gaedike 2018;” ANIC.
Description. (Fig. 14). Wingspan 13 mm.
Head laterally brown-grey, the area from neck to frons light brown; labial palpus on outside brown, on inside nearly white; antenna with pecten, flagellum brown-grey.
Thorax mixed brown-grey and light brown, tegulae darker; forewing with dark brown ground-colour; dorsum from base to 1/2 with narrow pale- to whitish-coloured stripe, interrupted by a dark brown patch at beginning of fringe; an oblique thin light brown dash from base to dorsum at 2/3, a second dash in the middle of wing from 1/2 to the end of cell, at the beginning and at the end with minute black dot; fringe with dark brown scale-line below apex; hindwing shiny white-grey.
Male genitalia (Fig. 30). Uncus broad, apically rounded; gnathos semi-circular, with numerous minute thorns; valva as long as uncus+tegumen, costal and ventral margins parallel, costal edge at 1/3 slightly concave, ventral edge with minute thorn apically, apex truncated, a large band-like bristled area on inside, apodemes prolonged into two narrow digital processes; phallus as long as valva, apical half laterally strongly sclerotized, vesical with hookshaped [partly broken] cornutus.
Female genitalia. Unknown.
Diagnosis. The pale- to whitish-coloured stripe at dorsum of forewing is somewhat similar to the pattern of G. fuscostriata and G. montana, but the genitalia structure is clearly different. This new species is uniquely characterized by the combination of the following characters: long valva with parallel costal and ventral margins and with truncated apex. A minute thorn present ventrally, apodemes prolonged into two digital processes, phallus laterally strongly sclerotized.
Distribution. Australian Capital Territory.
Bionomics. The early stages and host plants are unknown.
Etymology. The species name refers to the location where the type was found.

[genitalia slide] Gaedike Nr. 9186, ANIC.
Description. (Fig. 18). Wingspan 10 mm.
Head light yellowish-brown, labial palpus internally yellowish-brown, externally covered with darker brown scales; antenna with pecten, flagellum brown-grey.
Thorax and tegulae with same colouration as head, tegulae basally darker; forewing narrow, dorsum at 1/3 with large dark brown tuft of raised scales, a minute black dot at 1/2 and at 3/4 of forewing, a dark brown patch near apex, a light brown area apically from the patch; fringe around apex with dark brown, nearly black scale line; hindwing grey.
Male genitalia (Fig. 31). Uncus narrow, slightly curved, with pointed tip; valva with thin apodemes, ampulla thin, nearly straight, border to valva strongly sclerotized, cucullus clearly longer than ampulla, apically rounded, sacculus ending in a small strongly sclerotized tooth; phallus as long as valva, cornutus more than half of the length of phallus, band-shaped, basally and apically rounded.
Female genitalia (Fig. 32). Ductus bursae with a small strongly sclerotized ring, signum oval, basally broadened, with rounded edges, the entire edge dentate.
Diagnosis. Externally only one large tuft of raised scales makes the new species distinguishable from E. commonella; additional differences are seen in the male and female genitalia structure: in male of E. macrodentata sp. nov. ampulla thin and nearly straight; phallus with long cornutus, while in E. commonella ampulla short and broad with truncated apex and phallus without cornutus. In the female genitalia of new species signum oval, basally broadened, with rounded edges, while in E. commonella oval signum, wing-shaped laterally.
Bionomics. The early stages and host plants are unknown.
Etymology. The species name refers to the characteristic large tuft of raised scales on dorsum.

Material examined. Abrolhos Bank, Bahia State, Brazil: MNRJ-Bry1337, Parcel dos Abrolhos, 15 m depth, February 2014, col. R. Moura, G. Amado-Filho & A. Bastos.
Short description. Colony encrusting, autozooids rectangular with rounded distal edges, disposed in quincunx and separated from each other by a raised edge. Cryptocyst granular and porous. A pair of tubercles frequently present at the proximal corners. Avicularia absent in this material.
Geographic distribution. Alagoas and Bahia states (Vieira et al. 2016; Bastos et al. 2018; present study).
Remarks. Specimens found at Abrolhos were very similar to those described by Winston et al. (2014) and Vieira et al. (2016). Labioporella tuberculata resembles L. dipla Marcus, 1949, also described from Brazil (Espírito Santo State), but L. dipla has a prominent tubercle on the distal wall beneath the operculum, smaller zooids and lacks tubercles at the proximal corners of the zooids. Another similar species is L. granulosa (Canu & Bassler, 1928b), described from the Gulf of Mexico, which also lacks corner tubercles.

Material examined. Abrolhos Bank, Bahia State, Brazil: MNRJ-Bry1375, Parcel dos Abrolhos, 4 m depth, February 2014, col. R. Moura, G. Amado-Filho & A. Bastos.
Description. Small encrusting fragments comprising a few zooids (Fig. 2E). Autozooids rhomboidal, longer than wide, separated by deep fissures; frontal wall convex, perforated by large circular pores surrounded by a smooth flat collar. Orifice almost quadrate, as wide as long; condyles, avicularia, kenozooids and ovicells not observed.
Geographic distribution. Abrolhos Bank, Bahia State (Bastos et al. 2018; present study).
Remarks. Due to the poor preservation and difficulty of obtaining colonies from the inner core, this specimen can be identified only to genus level. According to Cáceres-Chamizo et al. (2017), two species of Exechonella are confirmed to occur in Brazilian waters: E. brasiliensis Canu & Bassler, 1928a, described from the Bahia coast (Canu & Bassler 1928a; Vieira et al. 2008), and E. vieirai Cáceres-Chamizo et al. 2017, described from Alagoas and Bahia states (Vieira et al. 2008; Winston et al. 2014; Almeida et al. 2015a).

Material examined. Abrolhos Bank, Bahia State, Brazil: MNRJ-Bry1345, Parcel dos Abrolhos, 4 m depth, February 2014, col. R. Moura. G. Amado-Filho & A. Bastos.
Short description. Fragments of encrusting colonies with zooids disposed quincuncially. Frontal wall tuberculate with large and almost circular areolar pores. Secondary orifice circular with a small U-shaped sinus; a simple, elongated and curved avicularium present lateral to the orifice. Ovicell not observed.
Geographic distribution. Bahia, Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro states (Canu & Bassler 1928a; Marcus 1955; Santana et al. 2009; Winston et al. 2014; Almeida et al. 2017; Bastos et al. 2018; present study).
Remarks. Winston et al. (2014) described Metrarabdotos jani from Rio de Janeiro State and mentioned two characteristic features of the ovicell: the absence of pores on the ooecial surface and the presence of more than a single line of areolar pores. The specimens from Abrolhos are very similar to M. jani but no ovicells have been observed. Since the main diagnostic taxonomic features are the ovicells, we identify the studied material as M. aff. jani.

Material examined. Abrolhos Bank, Bahia State, Brazil: MNRJ-Bry1344, Parcel dos Abrolhos, 15 m depth, February 2014, col. R. Moura, G. Amado-Filho & A. Bastos.
Description. Fragments of erect bifoliate colonies with zooids opening on both sides. Zooids rectangular (608–711–753 µm long x 277–308–354 µm wide), frontal shield smooth with 13–18 areolar pores. Secondary orifice circular (179–202–241 µm long x 137–151–167 µm wide), bidenticulate, with a small U-shaped sinus (Fig. 3B). Ordinary avicularia paired, located distally to orifice; rostrum triangular, proximally directed (Fig. 3B). No entire ovicells observed.
Geographic distribution. Abrolhos Bank, Bahia State, Brazil (Bastos et al. 2018; present study).
Remarks. All colony fragments recovered from the cores were poorly preserved and lacked ovicells, which are important for taxonomic identification to species level. Neither the avicularia nor the orifice showed distinctive features, precluding species-level identification of this bryozoan.

Material examined. Abrolhos Bank, Bahia State, Brazil: MNRJ-Bry1343, Parcel dos Abrolhos, 4 m depth, February 2014, col. R. Moura, G. Amado-Filho & A. Bastos.
Short description. Encrusting colony with zooids hexagonal or polygonal; frontal wall granular with only small, rounded areolar pores. Orifice rounded distally and concave proximally with a pronounced pair of condyles. A pair of avicularia, occasionally only one, located latero-distally to the orifice, rostrum elongated and triangular. Ovicell not observed.
Geographic distribution. Bahia, Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro states, Brazil (Marcus 1949, 1955; Winston et al. 2014; Almeida et al. 2015a; Almeida et al. 2017; Bastos et al. 2018).
Remarks. Hippaliosina imperfecta is characterized mainly by the paired avicularia (rarely one) with spearshaped rostra located latero-distally to the orifice. It resembles H. rostrigera (Smitt, 1873) but differs in the size of the orifice (shorter in H. rostrigera) and the shape/position of the avicularia (beginning above the orifice and with the rostrum slightly curved in H. rostrigera).

Material examined. Abrolhos Bank, Bahia State, Brazil: MNRJ-Bry1376, Parcel dos Abrolhos, 4 m depth, February 2014, col. R. Moura, G. Amado-Filho & A. Bastos.
Short description. Encrusting colonies, forming single layers (Fig. 5H); orange in colour with white ovicells when alive (Fig. 7G). Autozooids hexagonal to rectangular, frontal wall perforated by large circular pseudopores, except in a central area beneath the orifice. Ovicell hyperstomial.
Geographic distribution. Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo states (Marcus 1937, 1955; Ramalho et al. 2011), Abrolhos Bank, Bahia State, Brazil (Bastos et al. 2018; present study).
Remarks. Arthropoma cecilii has a worldwide distribution, although its apparent cosmopolitan nature deserves re-evaluation. In the present study, colonies were recorded only at 15 m deep, inside the cores and on the surface of the reefs; those on the external reef surfaces were alive and fertile.

Material examined. Abrolhos Bank, Bahia State, Brazil: MNRJ-Bry1348, California Reef, 25 m depth, March 2015, col. F.C. Moraes, R. Moura, G. Amado-Filho & A. Bastos.
Short description. Fragments of erect colonies with zooids oval to claviform, without visible demarcation between adjacent zooids, which may be a preservational artefact; frontal wall with sparse pores and granular calcification; orifice keyhole-shaped; scattered oval avicularia observed on the frontal surface (Fig. 6A).
Geographic distribution. Gulf of Mexico. Brazil: Pernambuco, Bahia and Espírito Santo states (Busk 1884; Canu & Bassler 1928; Marcus 1939, 1955; Almeida et al. 2015a; Bastos et al. 2018; present study).
Remarks. Three species have been assigned to Gemelliporina: G. hastata Winston & Woollacott, 2009, G. punctata (Canu & Bassler, 1929) and G. glabra (Smitt, 1873) (bryozoa.net; accessed 01.03.2018). Gemelliporina glabra is distinguished from G. punctata and G. hastata principally because these species have peristomial avicularia. The Abrolhos specimen was found at 25 m deep inside the reef matrix.
