The characteristics of the genus Cranosina are discussed and a new species. C. spiralis , which apparently has free‐living, lunulitiform colonies with a spiral budding pattern, is introduced. The role of the basal coclom in some free‐living species is briefly discussed. The name Copidozoum declinatum nom. n. is introduced for C. transversum. Hayward & Cook, not Silén.
