discussion
Remarks: Ralph (1956) assigned this species to the genus Orthopyxis L. Agassiz, 1862. Galea & Schories (2012 b p. 17 – 18), however, maintained this species in the genus Silicularia Meyen, 1834 until more material becomes available for study. Distribution in South America: polyp — Atlantic Ocean, South Georgia Island (Hartlaub 1905; Blanco 1994 a). Habitat: polyp — on rocks (Hartlaub 1905).
