to be identical with /. tuberosa D'Orbigny v ) from Basilan Island (Philippines). But this species, 

 although delicate and with biserial zooecia, is said to have the series "peu distinctes", and the 

 two zooecia in each series are "écartées". It is further described as being everywhere wrinkled. 

 T. tcnella was described by Ortmann, from Sagami Bay, Japan, 70 — 100 fathoms. The 

 branches are described as very thin ("fadendünn"). The zooecia are usually 2 — 3-serial, most 

 often biserial. Ovicells are not mentioned. No measurements are given in the text, but fig. 3^ 

 is said to be X IO - This gives a diameter of the branches, between the series of zooecia, of 

 600 u.; which is twice as much as the width of the 'Siboga' specimen indicated above.
