  • Reptadeonella granulosa Winston & Vieira, 2013 (Figs 13–14) Reptadeonella granulosa Winston & Vieira, 2013: 126, fig. 17. [Brazil: São Paulo] Material examined. Holotype: MZUSP 739, São Paulo, Brazil, 23 o 48 ' S, 45 o06' W, 36 m, coll. November 2002 by BIOTA /FAPESP/Bentos Marinho Project. Remarks. Reptadeonella granulosa is an interstitial bryozoan species with small white colonies readily distinguished from congeners by small zooid size, a robust frontal shield and lack of avicularia (Winston & Vieira 2013). As pointed by Winston & Vieira (2013), this species resembles Adeona tubulifera sensu Marcus (1939, p. 152, pl. 11, fig. 19 A, B) from Paraná State, giving evidence that records of R. tubulifera from Brazil may represent a different species. Distribution. Atlantic: Brazil (São Paulo); sublittoral.
