26 ALLAN HANCOCK ATLANTIC EXPEDITION REPORT 



Division 6, Cribrimorpha Harmer 1926 



Family Gribrilinidae Hincks 1880 

 Genus GRIBRILINA Gray 1848 

 Gribrilina floridana (Smitt), 1873 



Smitt 1873:23 (C. figularis var. floridana). Osburn 1914: 195 (Gribri- 

 lina); 1940:406 (Puellina). Canu and Bassler 1928: 74 (Puellina). 



This species is not well enough known to be certain of its generic 

 relationships. Smitt allied it to C. figularis (Johnston), which is now the 

 genotype of the genus Figularia, but it certainly is not congeneric with 

 F. figularis. In 1940 the writer followed Canu and Bassler in placing it 

 under Puellina Jullien, but again floridana can hardly be congeneric with 

 P. gattyae, the genotype of that genus. No ovicells nor avicularia have 

 been observed, there are small pore chambers (figured by Canu and 

 Bassler) , the intercostal lacunae are rather large, rounded and extended to 

 the border of the front, and there is a short, strong spine at each side 

 of the aperture. Until more can be known about the structure of the 

 species it is being returned to Cribrilina, where is was originally 

 described. 



The species is not known outside of the Gulf of Mexico and the 

 Caribbean Sea, Tortugas Islands, west of Florida and south of Porto 

 Rico, 5 to 42 fms. 



Distribution. — Stations A32-39 and At505, Aruba Island at 23 fms, 

 one colony considerably abraded. 



Genus GOLLETOSIA Jullien 1886 



Harmer (1926:474) has reestablished Jullien's genus and includes 

 in it the following species. The writer must agree with Harmer that the 

 Eschara radiata of Moll "does not seem to be congeneric" with the 

 Lepralia gattyae of Busk which is the genotype of Puellina. 



Golletosia radiata (Moll), 1803 



Smitt 1873: 22 (Cribrilina and C. innominata). Canu and Bassler 1928: 

 73 (Puellina radiata and P. innominata). Osburn 1940:405 (Puellina 

 innominata) and p. 406 (P. radiata). 



There seems to be but little question as to the relation of C. in- 

 nominata (Couch) to radiata (Moll). Older workers differentiated them
