FIGURE 6. Setosella cyclopensis n. sp. Paratypes: kenozooids, PMC. B24. 8.3.2018b, Ciclopi MPA, off Catania, W Ionian Sea. a–c. Damaged colony with evidences of reparative regeneration, Ciclopi 2D. a. General view of the colony enveloping the substratum. b, c. Close-up of the damaged zone of the colony with broken zooids, regenerated zooids and newly budded zooids. Note as some kenozooids develop to fill the gaps. d. Two kenozooids with differently developed opesiae, Ciclopi 2G. e. One large kenozooid along the colony edge with a single opesiule-like opening, Ciclopi 12E, same colony of Fig. 4d. f. Contact zone between edges of the same colony enrolling a Ditrupa worm tube marked by local self-overgrowth and the production of kenozooids, Ciclopi 12F. g. Small kenozooid possibly formed as the reparation of a damaged periancestrular zooid, WP123. h, i. Reparative intrazooidal budding Ciclopi 2D, same colony of Fig. 4f. h. Autozooids and a kenozooid. i. Common, multiple intramural budding affecting autozooids and ovicells along the colony edge. Scale bars: a = 500 μm; b–i = 200 μm.
