Genus HIPPOPODINELLA Barroso, 1924 



Ovicell endozooecial. Operculum much contracted on the sides; 

 aperture elongate, the anter much larger than the poster which is short

 Hippopodinella adpressa, Barroso, 1924:6. 

 Hippopodinella adpressa, Hastings, 1930:729. 



Zoarium encrusting, sometimes multilaminar. Zooecia moderate in 

 size, averaging about 0.55 mm long by 0.40 mm wide; distinct but the 

 grooves not deep ; slightly inflated. The frontal is a tremocyst, the pores 

 similar to the areolar pores, slightly roughened or with radiating ribs. 

 The aperture is elongate, about 0.14 mm long by 0.10 mm wide; the 

 cardelles project strongly and the proximal part of the aperture is wider 

 than the distal part, transverse, with a slightly arcuate proximal border. 

 A very slightly raised peristome surrounds the whole aperture. Rarely 

 a minute avicularium is present near the aperture. No spines. The 

 general appearance is that of a very small Cryptosula pallasiana. 



Described by Busk from Chiloe, Chile, and later recorded by him 

 from Mazatlan, Mexico. Hastings lists it from the Galapagos Islands 

 and Coiba, Panama. 



Hancock Stations: Noted at 29 stations from Angel de la Guardia 

 Island in the Gulf of California, W. Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama,
