Homophymia stipitata n. sp. is described from continental shelf banks off northeastern
New Zealand, and compared with the genus holotype H. lamellosa
Vacelet & Vasseur, 1971 from Madagascar. Diagnostic morphological characters
for Homophymia are reviewed, expanded, and compared to those of
Callipelta Sollas, 1888, Macandrewia Gray, 1859 and Daedalopelta Sollas,
1888 in the dicranocladinid lithistid family Corallistidae. A suite of morphological
characters were identified that link these genera with each other and
with Neopelta Schmidt, 1880 presently in the monogeneric dicranocladinid
family Neopeltidae. Two major diagnostic features characterize this group –
the possession of monocrepid megarhizoclone desmas with a distinctive short
crepis visible in the epirhabd and modified ectosomal desmas which resemble
triaenes.
