Information
“Funiculina quadrangularis”.

Remarks Colony: two fragments probably belonging to one colony.
Dry specimens. No label with collection data was found, although Thomson & Rennet (1927) reported one fragment of this species from Nakano-Yodomi (about 10 km west from Miura Peninsula), 70-100 fathoms, (i.e., ca. 130-180 m) collected on 2 April 1898. The present specimen or UMUTZ-Cnid-P-20 (q.v.) might be their reported specimen.
