Material collected in 1963 and 1964 by the International Indian Ocean Expedition includes ascidians from areas where the fauna is well-known such as the Mozambique Channel and from the relatively unknown southern Arabian Sea. Of the 29 species identified six are described as new to science, including one from a new genus of the family Polyclinidae.
