N.V. Denisenko
Abstract. A new species of the genus Hincksina Norman, 1903, H. magnicellata sp. nov., is described and illustrated. Its specimens were found on stones collected on the slope around the Faroe Islands archipelago. Description of the new species in the genus Hincksina is based on an extensive opesia, on endozooidal ovicells and on the presence of interzooidal avicularia, as well as oral and mural spines.
