0390F70AED19FFA0FF5155757F8BFC65.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Marcusadorea new genus is characterized by the presence of a well-developed peristome surrounding the orifice, a granular-tubercular irregularly porous frontal shield, large marginal pores and an ovicell opening inside the peristome.	en	Vieira, Leandro M., Migotto, Alvaro E., Winston, Judith E. (2010): Marcusadorea, a new genus of lepralioid bryozoan from warm waters. Zootaxa 2348 (1): 57-68, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2348.1.4, URL: https://biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/view/zootaxa.2348.1.4
0390F70AED19FFA0FF5155757F8BFC65.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Holoporella tubulosa Canu & Bassler, 1928, originally described from the Caribbean, Coleopora corderoi, described from Brazil, and “ Cosciniopsis ” efatensis Tilbrook, 2006 from Solomon Island are here reassigned to the new genus Marcusadorea. The diagnostic features of Marcusadorea are clearly visible in the figures of Canu & Bassler (1928: pl. 24, fig. 6), Marcus (1949: fig. 23) and Banta & Carson (1977: fig. 6 C). Marcusadorea efatensis (Tilbrook, 2006) n. comb., from Efate (Vanuatu), was uncertainly assigned to the genus Cosciniopsis by Tilbrook (2006: 240) because it does not fit perfectly the definition of the genus as originally established by Canu & Bassler (1927). In fact, the type species of the genus, Cosciniopsis coelatus Canu & Bassler, 1927, originally described from the Philippines, is characterized by large zooids with very thick, pigmented frontal shields with small pseudopores, but lacking marginal areolae, and with the ovicell closed by an operculum. Its zooidal features, an irregularly perforate frontal shield, presence of marginal areolar pores, raised vertical walls, and basal pore-chambers indicate close affinities with Marcusadorea jamaicensis n. sp., Marcusadorea corderoi n. comb. and Marcusadorea tubulosa n. comb., led us to reassign this species to the new genus Marcusadorea. The genus Coleopora was established for Coleopora verrucosa Canu & Bassler, 1927, based on specimens from Jolo Light, Phillipines (Albatross Station 5137); strangely, the holotype was catalogued twice as USNM 7969 and 8465 (J. Sanner pers. comm. 2009), but only one number appears two years later (Canu & Bassler 1929). In the original description of the genus Coleopora, Canu & Bassler (1927) reported the globular ovicells not closed by an operculum; however, examination of all material identified by Canu & Bassler as C. verrucosa, including the holotype (USNM 8465), showed colonies without ovicells (J. Sanner pers. comm. 2009). In addition, the frontal shield of C. verrucosa is uniformly perforated, without sizedifferentiated marginal areolar pores, rather than irregularly perforated with large obvious marginal pores, characteristic of Marcusadorea. Suboral avicularia are present in M. jamaicensis, M. tubulosa and M. corderoi, but are lacking in M. efatensis. The avicularium is placed on the inner side of the long and tubular peristome, as in Drepanophora Harmer, 1957. However, Marcusadorea differs from Drepanophora in lacking the conspicuous denticle projecting into the peristome at the base of the avicularium and in usually having small pores in the frontal wall. Species of Drepanophora also have a different ooecium structure and an imperforate umbonulomorph frontal shield with lateral areolar pores (Gordon 1993: 206). The placement of Marcusadorea at family level among the Schizoporelloidea is uncertain. Elongation of the peristome has led to the incorporation of an oral avicularium and the opening of the ovicell, as in smittinids, but the ooecia are constructed differently. In the two families of Smittinoidea Levinsen, 1909 with known ovicells ― Smittinidae Levinsen, 1909 and Bitectiporidae MacGillivray, 1895 ― the zooidal frontal shield ranges from fully umbonuloid (with only marginal areolar septular pores) to fully lepralioid (with an evenly pseudoporous shield and some of the marginal pores functioning as areolar septular pores), but the ovicell has an ectooecium with usually relatively large pores that show the inner entooecial layer beneath. The ovicell of Marcusadorea also has two layers, but with the calcified entooecium concealed and the ectooecium appearing as in some Schizoporelloidea. Taxa with similar ooecia include some Lanceoporidae Harmer, 1957 ― Calyptotheca Harmer, 1957, Emballotheca Levinsen, 1909 and Parmularia MacGillivray, 1887 ― in which the entire structure consists (as seen in sectioned material) of the completely calcified entooecium, coelomic cavity, pseudoporous calcified ectooecium, overgrowing porous secondary calcification, hypostegal coelom and an external membrane (A. Ostrovsky pers. comm. 2009). Despite the similarity of ooecial structure among Lanceoporidae, the orifice of Marcusadorea resembles those of several Stomachetosellidae Canu & Bassler, 1917 and the external appearance of ovicells is identical in the fossil genus Saevitella Bobies, 1956. Owing to such inconsistency, until a comprehensive revision of the Schizoporelloidea is done, we consider the systematic position of the new genus Marcusadorea uncertain at family level and within Schizoporelloidea.	en	Vieira, Leandro M., Migotto, Alvaro E., Winston, Judith E.

0390F70AED1AFFA6FF51534D790AFF5B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. As noted below, some of the colonies of M. corderoi collected north of Rio de Janeiro by the Hassler Expedition have smaller zooids (MCZ Hassler Box 33), more similar to the Jamaican specimens, but colonies with larger zooids (MCZ Hassler Box 36) as described by Marcus (1949) also were found. The morphology of the two species is very similar, and the zooid length of Jamaican specimens overlaps (barely) with those from Brazil (MCZ Hassler Box 33). Since M. corderoi is a species that shows considerable variability in zooid size and shape, this could be considered geographic variation within one species. However, the dimensions of the secondary orifice and its proportion relative to zooid length raise difficulties that are best resolved by considering the Jamaican material as belonging to a second, previously undescribed species. This species, described under the name of Marcusadorea jamaicensis, has a zooid length only 81 % and 76 % of the M. corderoi specimens from MCZ Box 33 and Box 36 respectively. The length of the secondary orifice in M. jamaicensis is 60 % and 51 % of M. corderoi from MCZ Box 33 and MCZ Box 36 respectively. Moreover, the ratio of zooid length to secondary orifice length is about 3.7 – 1 for M. jamaicensis specimens, versus 2.4 – 1 and 2.9 – 1 for Box 33 and Box 36, respectively. Marcusadorea jamaicensis is characterized by an almost cleithridiate secondary orifice in most zooids; rarely the peristome may be proximally incomplete as a U-shaped slit.	en	Vieira, Leandro M., Migotto, Alvaro E., Winston, Judith E.

0390F70AED1CFFA4FF5155807C25FCF5.taxon	discussion	Remarks. When introducing the new species Coleopora corderoi, Marcus (1949) distinguished it from other Coleopora species by features of the peristome, absence of tubes on frontal wall, presence of avicularia with curved cuspidate mandible, and prominent ooecium opening inside the peristome. He described very large zooids, reaching 1.4 – 1.8 mm in length and 0.7 mm in width, while his drawing shows zooids about 1.2 mm long (see Marcus 1949: fig. 23). It was not possible to reexamine Marcus’ specimens as the holotype of C. corderoi is missing, along with other Brazilian specimens identified by Ernst Marcus that were deposited in the Museum of Natural History (UK) (M. Spencer Jones pers. comm., 2009) and Museu de Zoologia of Universidade de São Paulo (Brazil). Some of the colonies of M. corderoi collected north of Rio de Janeiro by the Hassler Expedition have smaller zooids (MCZ Hassler Box 33), more like those of Marcusadorea jamaicensis specimens, but colonies with large zooids (MCZ Hassler Box 36) as described by Marcus (1949) were also found. The Brazilian colonies found in MCZ collection (Figures 1 – 6) lack avicularia and ovicells. Other authors have already described further species with large zooids, raised peristomes, irregularly porous frontal shields, and raised lateral walls adjacent to the areolar pores, which we consider as the diagnostic features of the new genus Marcusadorea. The species M. tubulosa (Canu & Bassler, 1928) differs from M. corderoi by having smaller zooids and suboral avicularia with curved spatulate mandibles; colonies in which suboral avicularia are lacking might be difficult to identify; however, colonies of Marcusadorea without avicularia may be distinguished by features of the peristome and orifice. Marcusadorea corderoi has an almost rounded secondary orifice at the end of the peristome in most zooids. In the other three species of the genus, the peristome of most zooids is incomplete; there is a characteristically proximally incomplete Ushaped slit in Marcusadorea jamaicensis n. sp., a broader proximal V-shaped to U-shaped gap in M. tubulosa, and a quadrangular to subtriangular one in M. efatensis (Tilbrook, 2006).	en	Vieira, Leandro M., Migotto, Alvaro E., Winston, Judith E.

0390F70AED1EFFABFF5154FD7DCEFE10.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Marcusadorea tubulosa is characterized by large zooids, approximately 1.20 mm in length in Caribbean specimens (Canu & Bassler 1928), a thin-walled proximally incomplete peristome surrounding the orifice, and a large proximal suboral avicularium placed laterally on the rim of the peristome. Canu & Bassler (1928) noted that the budded zooids of M. tubulosa are distinct from those of other species of Holoporella Waters, 1909 (= Celleporaria Lamouroux, 1821). They noted similarities with the peristome of Coleopora species, which lack attachment marks around the operculum. They considered their material as an undetermined genus owing to the absence of ovicells and the growth mode of the colonies in which frontal budding is lacking occur. However, their plate clearly illustrates ovicells (Canu & Bassler 1928: pl. 26, fig. 6), the presence of which we confirmed by the examination of a paratype of Holoporella (?) tubulosa deposited in the United States National Museum (USNM 7532). The examination of this material also revealed that in some zooids there is a proximal suboral avicularium placed laterally on the peristome, occupying one third of it, and globular ovicells opening inside the peristome, as in the Brazilian material figured herein (Figures 13 – 14). Prior to the original description of the genus Coleopora, Canu & Bassler (1925) described the Austrian fossil species Coleopora tubulosa, later regarded by David & Pouyet (1974) as a junior synonym of Coleopora insignis (Reuss, 1874). Teuchopora sp. recorded by Banta & Carson (1977) from Costa Rica resembles Marcusadorea tubulosa in general dimensions, frontal-shield formation, orifice, and the hemispherical aperture of ovicell opening into the base of the peristome, but it apparently lacks avicularia. Among the type material of M. tubulosa were found erect colonies, comprising cylindrical bifurcated branches, figured by Canu & Bassler (1928: pl. 24, figs 1, 4 – 5). Erect cylindrical colonies have also been collected from Bahia state, northeastern Brazil (Figure 15). The detached erect colony has irregular to oblong autozooids, somewhat erratically disposed along the axis; the avicularia are unusual (V. E. S. Almeida pers. comm. 2009), as in specimens from Albatross Station 2319 (J. Sanner pers. comm. 2009), and are infrequent, as in encrusting specimens collected in Alagoas. Both forms of colonies found in Brazil have similar-sized zooids, orifices and avicularia.	en	Vieira, Leandro M., Migotto, Alvaro E., Winston, Judith E.
