FIGURE 1. Porphyrocrinus daniellalevyae n. sp. A–C. Holotype (USNM 1411123). A. In situ, cemented to low-relief, lithified carbonate hardbottom. B. In situ close-up of crown showing well-developed gonads on genital pinnules, and terminal arm filaments. Crown in A and B forming parabolic filtration fan in response to current from left. C. Proximal stalk and crown with terminal filaments visible on three arms (since lost). D. Paratype (USNM 1411124) proximal stalk and crown. E. Paratype (MHNH-IE-2014-2001) in situ, cemented to substrate similar to that in A. Upright crown posture reflects weak or negligible current, also reflected by posture of Democrinus rawsoni (rear center) and curled arms of feather star Trichometra cubensis clinging to stalk. C and D images taken immediately following collection, before preservation. Scales: (C, D) 5 mm.Published as part of Messing, Charles G., 2016, Porphyrocrinus daniellalevyae n. sp.
