Colony erect, dichotomous, bilaminar. Zooids claviform, longer than wide, delimited by slightly raised lateral margins in the interzooidal furrows. Frontal shield heavily calcified, granular, marginally punctured by one row of 15–25 areolar pores. Sometimes calcification leaves a pair of latero-oral nodules. Two distinct pores separated by suboral avicularium commonly placed at proximal margin of orifice. Peristome well developed, sometimes obscuring distal marginal pores, high-arched, becoming thicker with secondary calcification, the proximal rim indented by the frontal suboral avicularian rostrum. This avicularium proportionally large (0.095– 0.137 mm long), extending from spiramen to peristome, orientated distally or slightly obliquely, straight or weakly curving, the rostrum acute, elongate-triangular, delimited by a pair of minute condyles; opesial portion of avicularium smooth. Infrequent additional frontal avicularia borne proximally on margin, the chamber 0.107–0.132 mm long, 0.057–0.088 mm wide, of similar morphology to the suboral avicularium, directed proximally. Branch margins with vicarious to interzooidal avicularia, 0.244–0.388 mm long, 0.134–0.203 mm wide, having similar morphology to suboral and frontal avicularia. Spiramen single, depressed, semicircular, placed just proximal to suboral frontal avicularium, frequently obscured by frontal calcification. Gonozooids not recognized.

Remarks. Although frequently placed in Bracebridgia MacGillivray, 1886, the presence of a spiramen and adventitious avicularia and the absence of a lyrula in the primary orifice led Cheetham et al. (2007) to reassign Porina subsulcata Smitt, 1873 to Adeonellopsis. It is the only species of the genus recorded for the southwest Atlantic; it was first reported by Busk (1884) as a new species, Adeonella distoma var. imperforata, based on specimens from Alagoas State, NE Brazil. Adeonellopsis subsulcata is characterized by the small spiramen that frequently becomes obscured by frontal calcification, and suboral, frontal and interzooidal avicularia of similar morphology. Some specimens of A. subsulcata here analyzed lack adventitious frontal avicularia (UFBA 271; UFBA 1000) but, as noted by Cheetham et al. (2007), this type of avicularium may be present on scattered groups of autozooids, being frequently absent from autozooids at the growing edge (see Cheetham et al. 2007, figure 36.1). Distribution. Atlantic: North Carolina to Brazil (Alagoas, Bahia and Espírito Santo); sublittoral.
