Abstract

Abstract

The family Pyrosomatidae, with 8 species in the world oceans, belongs to phylum Chordata, subphylum Urochordata, class Thaliacea and order Pyrosomida. A new recorded species Pyrosomella verticillata(Neumann, 1909) of Pyrosomatidae from the South China Sea was reported in this paper. A detail description and illustration of this new recorded species and the morphological differences between the Pyrosomella verticillata and Pyrosoma atlanticum were provided. The relationships between length and width, and length and the number of verticals of Pyrosomella verticillata colonies were analyzed. The specimens examined were deposited in Marine Biodiversity Collection of South China Sea.
