FIGURE 6 in Description of two new species of bathyal Primnoidae (Octocorallia: Alcyonacea) from the Porcupine Bank (northeastern Atlantic)

FIGURE 6. Callogorgia europaea sp. nov. holotype MNCN (2.04/2022). SEM microphotographs of characteristics scales: (A) Opercular scale. (B) Abaxial marginal scale. (C) Abaxial scale of distal part of polyp. Callogorgia americana: (D) Adaxial scale of distal part of polyp (modified from Cairns & Bayer, 2002: fig. 3J). Callogorgia delta: (E) Adaxial scale of distal part of polyp (modified from Cairns & Bayer, 2002: fig. 6H). Notice parallel ridges of digitated processes in A, and parallel to radial orientation of ridges in the abaxial body scales of the new proposed species (B and C) and the two closest species C. americana and C. delta, centres of radiation are indicated by the intersection of convergent arrows.
