Note

A new species of the ascidian genus Bathypera (Ascidiacea: Pyuridae), B. feminalba, is described from deep-water habitats of Saanich Inlet and Barkley Sound, British Columbia, Canada, with data on the depth distribution, substratum use, reproduction, embryology, and larval development. The species is characterized by hourglass-shaped spicules topped with a single large spine and several smaller spines, a branchial sac with 7 folds per side, and irregular and curved stigmata. B. feminalba spawned in response to light following dark adaptation during the month of June.
