- Reptadeonella leilae Almeida, Souza, Sanner & Vieira, 2015 (Figs. 36–37) Reptadeonella leilae Almeida, Souza, Sanner & Vieira, 2015c: 362, figs. 33–36, 42 (cum syn.). Material examined. UFBA 1174, Camamu Bay, 13°53’S, 38°59’W, 18–20 m, coll. October 2012 (on sponge Halichondria sp.). Remarks. Reptadeonella leilae is characterized by unilaminar encrusting colonies (Fig. 36), autozooids with a tubular peristome, a circular spiramen and no avicularia (Fig. 37) (Almeida et al. 2015c). The species grows on small substrata such as calcareous nodules (Almeida et al. 2015c). Other Reptadeonella species are frequently found encrusting rocks, other bryozoans, calcareous nodules and algae, corals and shells (e.g., Marcus 1939; Soule 1961; Winston 1982b; Hayward & Ryland 1999; Tilbrook et al. 2001; Tilbrook 2006; Winston & Vieira 2013; Almeida et al. 2015c). Reptadeonella leilae was found attached to the smooth-textured sponge Halichondria sp., representing the first record of an association with sponges in the genus. Distribution. Atlantic: endemic to Brazil (Bahia) (Almeida et al. 2015c).
