"Collections from three very shallow-water (3 m or less) Indonesian reef localities yielded 33 species of cheilostome bryozoans. Five species: Thalamoporella komodoensis, Crepidacantha carsioseta, Fenestrulina harmeri, Celleporaria sibogae, and Drepanophora verrucosa are described as new. Five species: Exechonella brasiliensis, Watersipora edmondsoni, Parasmittina hastingsae, Rhynchozoon rostratum, and Rhynchozoon verruculatum are reported for the first time from the Indonesian region. Many of the species found have wide distributions: 79 percent are recorded from elsewhere in the Indo-West Pacific, 30 percent from the Red Sea, and 28 percent from the Caribbean. This work provides further documentation of the diversity and broad ecological tolerances of reef-associated cheilostome bryozoans"--P. 2.
