? Bimeria pusilla Fraser, 1925: 168, fig. 2. Garveia pusilla.— Cairns et al., 1991: 14.
Typematerial.CAS-IZ 21799.00: USA, California, San Francisco Estuary, San Francisco Bay, Marin County, Lime Point, 10 August 1896, specimen count 1, coll. University of California; 10% formalin. Typelocality. USA, California: San Francisco Bay, Lime Point( Fraser 1925). Current status. Species inquirenda(WoRMS).
Remarks.The only known typematerial of Bimeria pusilla, in collections at the CAS (CAS-IZ 2 1799.00), is listed as a syntype. The online database indicates a specimen count of “1”, and Fraser’s (1925)description of the species appears to have been based on a single colony. Noother typematerial of B. pusillawas located, and the CAS specimen may be the holotypeby monotypy. The brief account of Bimeria pusillaby Fraser (1925)was based on sterile material. Although the hydroid appears to have been a bougainvilliid, it is not referable to Bimeria Wright, 1859because the tentacles are not covered by a sheath of perisarc basally. Cairns et al. (1991, 2002) included the species in Garveia Wright, 1859, but verification is warranted. Garveia pusillais listed in WoRMS as a taxon inquirenda, and we agree.
