Description. The small, compact specimen provides little useful information. The only statoblast is a fragment of a ventral valve with much adhering debris that could possibly be attributed to P. emarginata.

Remarks. The specimen was originally labeled “ Plumatella princeps (= Plumatella polymorpha) ”, but subsequently identified by Wiebach as P. emarginata. I have isolated the broken statoblast valve in a small vial with the specimen, but doubt that it could ever be very useful.

Distribution. Plumatella emarginata is widely distributed throughout the holarctic and in the Australasian region. It has not been known to occur in any of the warmer areas of the world.

Abstract

The Royal Museum of Central Africa at Tervuren, Belgium, includes a small collection of freshwater bryozoans from Congo and Rwanda. Included are: Plumatella philippinensis with both statoblast types, as well as holotypes of Plumatella ruandensis Wiebach, 1964, Plumatella marlieri Wiebach, 1970, and Plumatella pseudostolonata Borg, 1940. There are also two new species which had been previously misidentified: specimens designated as Plumatella javanica are now recognized as P. wiebachi n. sp.; and specimens labeled Stolella indica now recognized as Plumatella kisalensis n. sp. This paper includes full descriptions of the new species as well as fresh descriptions and illustrations of other species in the collection.
