Abstract

A new species of the primnoid genus Thouarella is described from off Lenca, Northern Chilean Patagonia, bringing to four the number of Thouarella species known from this country. Thouarella debilis sp. nov. is distinctive in having very slender branchlet axes, which produces a very weakly supported colony. Occurring at 28-33 m, this species is among the shallowest of the 34 species known in the genus.
