Rossella

Description

Rossella sp.

Material examined: All from ANDEEP III Exped., Weddell Sea, Antarctica, SMF 10613, and SMF 10601, R.V. 'Polarstern', stn PS67/133-2, Weddell Sea, Antarctica, 16 Mar. 2005, 62°46.49'–46.38'S, 53°02.57'–03.50'W, 1584– 1579 m, ethanol.

Description and remarks: Two additional fragments belonging to unidentifiable members of Rossella were collected. These fragments have surface spicules, hypodermalia, discohexasters and anisodiscohexasters characteristic of Rossella, but are lacking calycocomes and are severely contaminated with demosponge spicules. They cannot confidently be assigned to any of the known Rossella sp.
