- Mycale (Carmia) militaris Annandale, 1914 Mycale aegagropila var. militaris Annandale, 1914: 151, pl. X fig. 2; Ali 1956: 295 (misspelled as aegagsopila). Mycale aegagropala (sic) var. milataris (sic); Pattanayak 2009: 24. Summary description. Thin film on Mytilus mussels. Bright scarlet in life, turning dull green in preservation. No description of skeleton but stated to be similar to Esperella aegagropila sensu Vosmaer & Pekelharing 1897. This description concerns Dutch populations of Mycale (Carmia) encrusting oysters. It is likely that these authors studied Mycale (Carmia) micracanthoxea Buizer & Van Soest, 1977, which is commonly found in the oysterbeds in SE Netherlands. Annandale’s material is thus likely to belong to subgenus Carmia. Mycalostyles 240–270 μm, anisochelae I (not in rosettes) 44 μm, sigmas I 95 μm, toxas 148–200 μm. Distribution. Madras (= Chennai) Harbor, depth 1– 2 m. Comment. This description reminds strongly of Mycale (Carmia) madraspatana Annandale, 1914. The only difference is the presence of rosettes of anisochelae in that species. Ali (1956) reports sigmas of 120 μm.
