This is the first description of a combination coccosphere of the heterococcolithophore species Coronosphaera mediterranea (Lohmann 1902) Gaarder in Gaarder & Heimdal (1977) and the holococcolithophore species Calyptrolithophora hasleana (Gaarder 1962) Heimdal in Heimdal & Gaarder (1980) (Figs 1, 2). A single specimen of this new combination coccosphere was found within 53000 analysed cells in one of 189 samples collected at the JGOFS time series station ALOHA, Hawaii, during 1993 to 1996. The specimen was in a sample collected during autumn 1996 at a water depth of 5 m at a temperature of 26·1 °C, salinity of 35·0 psu, phosphate of 0·002 μmol/kg and in nitrate-depleted water (for details see Cortés, 1998; Cortés et al., 2001).
