Genus HIPPALIOSINA Canu, 1918 



Ovicell endozooecial. The aperture is elongate, elliptical, divided 

 into two parts by triangular cardelles ; the poster smaller than the anter. 

 Frontal a granular pleurocyst with areolar pores which are sometimes 

 in more than one row. Usually a small avicularium at each side of the 

 aperture. Genotype, Escharella rostrigera Smitt, 1873.

Zoarium encrusting. Zooecia of moderate size but very variable, 

 ranging from 0.30 to 0.60 mm in length by 0.25 to 0.35 mm in width ; 

 the frontal a granular pleurocyst with a row (sometimes two rows) of 

 areolar pores, nearly flat. The aperture is variable in form, longer than 

 broad, the anter more than a semicircle and separated from the poster 

 by strong, pointed cardelles; the poster usually narrower than the anter 

 and with an arcuate proximal border. The peristome is thin and slightly 

 raised only around the distal border. No spines. There is usually a small 

 avicularium on either side of the aperture, the mandible short or long 

 and directed forward and inward around the border. 



The endozooecial ovicell is scarcely noticeable on the surface but 

 the fertile zooecia are easily distinguished by their short, wide apertures. 



Described from the Gulf of Mexico and known only from the West 

 Indian region until Hastings recorded it from Gorgona, Colombia.
