Description

Diplosoma virens (Hartmeyer, 1909)

Specimens: NMNS-8141-004 (Maobitou), -005 (Gongzibi), -023 (Wushibi).

Colonies were irregularly shaped sheets about 2-5 mm thick (Fig. 2I). The tunic was tougher than in other photosymbiotic Diplosoma species. The pattern of stigmata was 6-6-6-5 (Fig. 2J), and the retractor muscle emerged from halfway down the esophagus.
