# 1174, large colony with tetrahedral spicules; some zooids with small gonads not fully developed. Single testis. Oocytes in some zooids. Larvae present. # 2587, colony 2.4 cm in length; tunic clear. Large tetrahedral spicules up to 100 + um, fatter than in # 3866, dense around zooids. # 2625, three colonies; orange zooids. Some black pigment in otherwise clear tunic. Largest colony 16 mm; zooids with single testis. Green cells in tunic aggregated around tetrahedral spicules but none in zooids. Spicules densest around oral siphons. Thoraxes strongly contracted. No larvae. # 3803, examined by Francoise Monniot. Zooids without gonads but with mature larvae. Spicules tetrahedral in shape. In stained preserved larvae, one bud visible on each side, three adhesive papillae in a line, six pairs of lateral ampullae except one larva had six ampullae on one side and seven on the other side. # 3812, small tan fleshy colony 2.3 cm in longest dimension. Spicules tetrahedral, more sparse than in other samples. Spicules not characteristic of L. verrilli (Van Name, 1902); more short center knobs present than in published descriptions of L. verrilli. With brooded unhatched tadpoles. # 3866, clear tunic with tetrahedral spicules 50 – 80 µm. No larvae, no testis.

Abstract

During the 2013 Singapore Strait International Marine Biodiversity Workshop, hundreds of ascidians were collected along with numerous other marine phyla. Collections were made intertidally as well as subtidally by snorkel, SCUBA, trawling and dredging. While many ascidian specimens remain unidentified, 14 aplousobranchs, nine phlebobranchs and 17 stolidobranchs have been identified; a surprising 50% of these comprise 20 new records for Singapore. An additional new record of the phlebobranch Perophora namei collected from the same area in 2014 and 2015 is included here. Of the 21 new records, Aplidium cf. grisiatum, Distaplia regina, Euherdmania cf. digitata, Cnemidocarpa irene, Monandrocarpa monotestis and Polyandrocarpa rollandi are also first records for the entire South China Sea region.
