 Heterospoea Kuckuck. 



H. ViDOViCHii (Meneg.) Kuckuck, 1895, p. 318, PL IV, figs. 

 1-20; Haplospora Vidomchii Bornet, 1891, p. 363, PL VIII, figs.

 Kiitzing, 1845, p. 233; E. crinitus Hauck, 1885, p. 330, not of 

 Carmichael. Forming rather dense tufts, up to 4 dm. long, on wall

 The occurrence here of a representative of the family Tilopteridaceae 

 is of much interest; barely half a dozen species are known, and all 

 but this one inhabit the colder waters of the Atlantic. H. Vidomchii 

 inhabits the Mediterranean, and this is its first recorded occurrence 

 elsewhere.
