The U.S  Coral Reef Research Foundation collected by SCUBA various marine invertebrates in the islands of Vanuatu. Among them was a small bulbous ascidian settled on thin test stolons of another discrete ascidian being very similar in colour and shape. It is a new species of the genus Monandrocarpa (Styelidae) in which few species have been recorded. This genus is characterised by gonads in rows of hermaphrodite polycarps, each of them containing a single male vesicle. Other species in the same genus are discussed.
