Abstract
Electra venturaensis is described from shallow subtidal water near Ven tura, California. It is distinguished from E. monostachys (Busk) by la cking typical lateral spines and possessing a calcified operculum, and from E. crustulenta (Pallas) by possessing numerous frontal heterozoi ds and occupying a non-estuarine habitat. Adventitious buds derived fr om reparative buds or kenozoids derived from spines may form pseudoanc estrulae and subcolonies in later astogenetic stages.
