1913. Smittina trispinosa var. protecta Waters, Bryozoa British East Africa and 

 Zanzibar, Proceedings Zoological Society of London, p. 513. 



1918. Smittina trispinosa var. protecta Waters, Bryozoa, Cape Verde Islands, 

 Journal Linnean Society, Zoology, vol. 34, p. 21. 



Description. — The peristomice bears a proximal pseudorimule. 

 The lyrula is narrow. The avicularia are placed at the side of the 

 apertura. Waters has indicated as a synonym the variety nitida 

 Hincks, 1885, which has no pseudorimule. This was probably an 

 error, as the two figures were close together on the same plate. 



Geographic distribution. — Indian Ocean: Gulf of Manaar 

 (Thornely); Africa (Jelly): Red Sea (Waters), Wasin, British East 

 Africa, 10 fathoms (Waters). Atlantic; Cape Verde Islands 

 (Waters).

 Arch fur Naturgeschichte, vol. 50, p. 45, pi. 3, fig. 26. 



Description. — The peristomice bears a very long pseudorimule. On 

 the frontal there is a large ascendant, triangular avicularium in which 

 the beak is very thin and placed at the side of the apertura.
