Description
Polycarpa papillata (Sluiter, 1885)
Styela (Polycarpa) papillata Sluiter 1885, p 192.
Polycarpa papillata: Kott 1985, p 184 and synonymy.
Distribution
Previously recorded (see Kott 1985): the species has been recorded from all around the Australian continent, Indonesia, the western Pacific and Madagascar. New record: Tasmanian Canyons (King I. Canyon, 249 m).
Remarks
The species characteristically ejects its gut, including the pharynx, through the atrial siphon when collected. Despite variations, its general body shape, with short cylindrical siphons separated by half the body length, help to distinguish it, as does its white test with strips of pink-red colour.
The species has a wide range through the Indo-West Pacific. The new record from the Tasmanian Canyons represents the most southerly location yet reported.
