An account is given of 58 species of the Ascidiacea from South Australia, of which 7 species are new, including two assigned to new genera in the sub families Euherdmaniinae and Botryllinae. Records of 22 species from the northern part of the Great Australian Bight are the first from that area and suggest that the ascidian fauna there has a considerable endemic component.

    presents Summer Holiday Activites Program 2015 Friday 2nd - Thursday 15th January Robe • Beachport • Southend • Kingston Cape Jaffa • Carpenter Rocks • Port MacDonnell This project is supported by SELGA and Natural Resources South East through funding from the Australian Government This project is supported by SELGA and Natural Resources South East through funding from the Australian Government Coastal Connections is back again this summer with a program brimming with fun activities all along the Limestone Coast. It is an event for all ages and explores the many natural wonders of our magnificent coast and marine environment. What’s more, almost all activities are FREE! Our program runs from 2nd-15th January from Piccaninnie Ponds near Port MacDonnell, through to Southend, Beachport, Cape Jaffa, Robe and Kingston. This year’s activities will again showcase the unique and diverse coastal habitats of the South East region. Bookings are essential for most activities as the numbers of places are limited. See below for booking details. Throughout this event our aim is to promote a stronger connection between people and the coast, and build a greater community awareness and appreciation of its beauty, value and fragility. With this in mind we hope that Coastal Connections leaves you inspired to join us in protecting this magnificent environment, with its diversity of native flora and fauna and rich cultural heritage. We hope that you enjoy ‘Coastal Connections’ and we look forward to meeting you at an activity soon. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION We request that all participants be sun smart and wear a hat, shirt and sunscreen for all daytime activities, and sturdy walking shoes in the bush and on the rocky shore.

Internal phylogeny and relationships between Styelidae and Pyuridae 37 were inconclusive however. In order to clarify these points we used mitochondrial and 38 nuclear sequences from 31 species of Styelidae and 25 of Pyuridae. Phylogenetic trees 39 recovered the Pyuridae as a monophyletic clade, and their genera appeared as 40 monophyletic with the exception of Pyura.

ABSTRACT A review of the 95 species of the Ascidiacea recorded from Moreton Bay, Queensland shows that solitary species of Phlebobranchia and Stolidobranchia (53 species) dominate the fauna, there being few colonial species of either suborder and only 30 species of the almost exclusively colonial Aplousobranchia, eight being species of the Didemnidae recorded only from locations immediately to the north of the Bay rather than in its semi-enclosed waters.

E. ROWE AND JANET I. MARSHALL The Australian Museum, Sydney SUMMARY Nearly 400 type-specimens representing 137 currently-recognised species of ascidians are listed. The majority of these species have been described by Patricia Kott and W. A. Herdman, and are from Australian waters. INTRODUCTION The ascidian type-collection in the Australian Museum presently comprises about 384 specimens, representing 155 nominal species, of which about 137 are currently recognised. Of the 155 nominal species, 82 have been described by Kott since 1952; 57 were described by Herdman (1899), 6 by Michaelsen (1898, 1900) 3 by Herdman and Riddell (1913),3 by Kesteven (1909) and 2 each by Hastings (1931) and Brewin (1953,1956). Of the currently-recognised species, 123 were collected from around the coasts of Australia, 10 are from the Antarctic and 4 from the South Atlantic. Collections from the Australian coasts appear to include types of at least 60% of the known Australian fauna as recognised by Kott (1974).
