Genus STYLOPOMA Levinsen, 1909.

Bryozoa, pi. 18. (Name only.) 
The ovicell is hyperstomial. It covers the apertura and the avicularia en- 
tirely. The frontal is a tremocyst. The apertura is provided with a small linear 
rimule. 
Genotype. — Stylopoma ( Eschara ) spongites Pallas, 1766. 
Range. — Miocene — Recent. 
Levinsen proposed this name for Eschara spongites and Schizoporella longi- 
rostris Hineks, 1886; but having recognized that the size of the rimule is not a 
generic character, he suppressed it. We reestablish the genus, basing it upon the 
function of the passage of the eggs, which operates in a very different manner from

great development of the ovicell above the apertura assures this function.

The ovicell is hyperstomial and closed by the operculum. The frontal is a 
tremocyst. The operculum bears a wide rimule and articulates often on two con- 
dyles; its muscular attachments are elongated on the border. No avicularia.
