Fig. 5b View FIGURE 5

Voucher material. Off St. Lucie Inlet, 27°10.7’N, 80°02.7’W, on Aglaophenia latecarinata , 23 m, vii.1975, Johnson-Sea-Link, JSL 274, one colony, without gonophores, coll. T. Askew, ROMIZ B1132 GoogleMaps .

Remarks. The hydroid colony examined here was small, with only two hydrothecae, and it lacked gonothecae. Its hydrothecae resemble those of a number of hebellid species, including Scandia mutabilis ( Ritchie, 1907) , Anthohebella parasitica ( Ciamician, 1880) , and Hebella furax Millard, 1957 . The first of these three species has fixed gonophores ( Fraser 1912b), while the other two liberate a medusa ( Boero 1980; Migotto & de Andrade 2000). In the absence of knowledge about its gonophores, however, present material cannot be identified to species with any degree of certainty and is even assigned to the genus Hebella Allman, 1888 with question.
