A remarkable new genus and species of cyclostome bryozoans is described from the Sea of Okhotsk off the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. Kamchatkapora ozhgibesovi gen. et sp. n. has large, multilayered colonies, each layer constructed of numerous subcolonies joined at their outer edges. This colony-form was previously unknown in extant cyclostomes, although common in the geological past, especially during the Cretaceous period. The term ‘stratocormidial’ is here introduced for such colonies, and their taxonomy and geological history are reviewed. Six fossil stratocormidial cyclostome genera (Blumenbachium, Cellulipora, Centronea, Multifascigera, Reptomulticava and Semimulticavea) are illustrated and briefly characterised.
