FIGURE 1. M. browni n. sp., specimens from Oman, Indian Ocean (A-C: paratype 2010-0001-0009 DPUV; F: paratype 2010- 0001-0009 DPUV). A: Distal half of a cleaned non-ovicellate zooid with five oral spines. B: Part of colony with a personate maternal zooid and ovicell and four zooids with initial stage of ovicell formation, two with a single avicularium and two without. C: Primary orifice with 4 oral spines, distal denticles, corrugated proximal edge and low condyles at the corners. D: uncleaned zooids with 5 or 6 oral spines, avicularium and setiform mandible folded over the frontal wall. E: gutter-shaped lower face of mandible bearing pointed processes near its basis. F: growing margin of a colony showing basal pore chambers. G: ancestrula and peri-ancestrular zooids. Scale bars: A, D, F = 100 µm; B, G = 200 µm; C, E = 50 µm.Published as part of Harmelin, Jean-Georges, Ostrovsky, Andrew N., Cáceres-Chamizo, Julia P. & Sanner, Joann, 2011, Bryodiversity in the tropics: taxonomy of Microporella species (Bryozoa, Cheilostomata) with personate maternal zooids from Indian Ocean, Red Sea and southeast Mediterranean, pp. 1-30 in Zootaxa 2798 on page 5, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20723
