Genus Leucosolenia Bowerbank 1861

Genus Leucosolenia Bowerbank 1861

Leucosolenia rosea Kirk

H. B. Kirk Trans.N.Z.Inst., 28, 209, Plate 3 (1896)

The syntypes comprise microtome sections and spicule preparations. As Kirk's published figures agree with the spicule preparation, the latter is accordingly designated as the lectotype. Localities—Happy Valley, Wellington (lectotype); Island Bay (syntypes). Kirk did not publish any locality with his description, but the information is given on the slide-labels.

Leucosolenia laxa Kirk

H. B. Kirk Trans.N.Z.Inst., 28, 208, Plate 4, Figs, 1a-i (1896)

The syntypes comprise one spicule preparation, and two slides of sectioned colonies. As the former corresponds to Plate 4, it is designated the lectotype. All the slides bear the locality and date, Ohiro Bay, Wellington, coll. H. B. Kirk August 1895. Kirk gave no locality with his published description.

Leucosolenia intermedia Kirk

H. B. Kirk Trans.N.Z.Inst., 28, 208, Plate 4, Figs. 2a-j (1896)

The syntypes comprise fourteen microtome sections mounted on two slides. Kirk's figures show only spicules, but as the sections correspond to his description, one slide is accordingly designated as the lectotype. The published locality was "Cook Strait." The types are labelled Lyall Bay, Wellington, coll. H. B. Kirk June 20 1892. Brondsted (1926) reported the species from Island Bay.

Leucosolenia echinata Kirk

H. B. Kirk Trans.N.Z.Inst., 26, 175, Plate 22 (1894)

The syntypes comprise three whole-mounts on one slide, and two slides of spicules. The former preparation is designated as the lectotype. Kirk's published localities were "Cook Strait, Poverty Bay, Kawakawa (near East Cape)." The specimens are labelled: Wellington Heads (lectotype), coll. H. B. Kirk, 1893; Happy Valley, H. B. Kirk, 25-9-1893; Stewart Island. Brondsted (1926) reported the species from Halfmoon Bay, Stewart Island.

Leucosolenia clathrus (O. Schmidt)

O. Schmidt Suppl.Spong.Adriat.Meer., (1864)

H. B. Kirk Trans.N.Z.Inst., 28 (1896)

Happy Valley, 31-3-1893, H.B.K; Stewart Island, Nov. 1892, H.B.K.; Island Bay, 1-4-1893, H.B.K.; Budleigh, Salterton, Devon, (England), coll. H. J. Carter. The latter specimen was received through Dendy, see Kirk (1896), p. 206.

Leucosolenia challengeri Polejaeff

N. Polejaeff Challenger Rpts., Zoology, 8 (24) (1883)

H. B. Kirk Trans.N.Z.Inst., 28 (1896)

Island Bay, coll. H.B.K., Sept. 1895

Leucosolenia lucasi Dendy

A. Dendy Trans.Roy.Soc.Victoria, 3 (1), 45 (1891)

H. B. Kirk Trans.N.Z.Inst., 26, 178 (1894)

Happy Valley, Wellington, coll. H.B.K., 25-9-1893. Kirk (1894) recorded the species from "Cook Strait," but there is little doubt that he did not intend this to mean anything other than the littoral zone. Brondsted (1926) has reported the species from Pegasus Bay, Stewart Island.

Leucosolenia cerebrum (Haeckel)

E. Haeckel Kalkschwaeme, 2, 54 (1872)

H. B. Kirk Trans.N.Z.Inst., 28 (1896)

Makara, Wellington coll. H.B.K., 22-8-1892, 17-3-1893.

Leucosolenia ventricosa (Carter)

H. J. Carter Ann.Mag.Nat.Hist. (1886)

No locality. The specimen may be from Dendy who (1891) reported the species from near Port Phillip Heads, Australia.

Leucosolenia protogenes (Haeckel)

E. Haeckel Kalkschwaeme, 2, 17 (1872)

No locality. Brondsted (1926) reported this species from Moko Hinau Island, Island Bay and (1923) Auckland and Campbell Islands. The specimen may have come from Dendy who (1891) reported the species from Port Phillip Heads, Australia, coll. J. B. Wilson.

Leucosolenia proxima Dendy

A. Dendy Trans.Roy.Soc.Victoria 3 (1), 62 (1891)

H. B. Kirk Trans.Roy.Soc.N.Z., 28 (1896)

No locality; but Kirk (1896) reported the species from "Cook Strait."

Leucosolenia tripodifera (Carter)

H. J. Carter Ann.Mag.Nat.Hist., 505, (1896)

No locality. Dendy reported the species from near Port Phillip Heads, Australia, Westernport (Victoria), and Kent Islands (Bass Strait), and the specimen may have reached Kirk from Dendy.
