Remarks: the record by Stepanjants (1979) has to be confirmed. The distribution range provided by Ramírez & Zamponi (1981) is not based on specific records and, therefore, we did not consider that information for this species.

Distribution in South America: polyp—Pacific Ocean, Peru to Chile, from 3.5°S to 46°S, from 53.166°S to 54.800°S (Jäderholm 1903; Hartlaub 1905; Kramp 1966; Fagetti 1973 p. 38; Galea 2007 p. 30-31; Galea et al. 2009a p. 315; Chirichigno, pers. comm.); Atlantic Ocean, Brazil to Argentina, from 28.56°S to 55°S (Genzano et al. 1991, 2009a, 2011; Blanco 1994, Genzano 1994a, 1994b, 1998, 2002; Genzano & Rodriguez 1998; Genzano & Zamponi 1994, 1997, 2003; Failla-Siquier 2006; Miranda et al. 2015);

medusa—Pacific Ocean, Chile, from 33°S to 45.783°S (Fagetti 1973 p. 38; Palma 1994; Palma & Rosales 1995; Palma & Apablaza 2004; Apablaza & Palma 2006; Palma et al. 2007a p. 70, 2007b p. 74, 80, 2014a; Pavez et al. 2010; Bravo et al. 2011); Atlantic Ocean, Brazil to Argentina, from 20°S to 30.25°S, from 37°S to 54°S (Vannucci 1957a; Correia 1983; Genzano & Zamponi 1994; Migotto et al. 2002; Genzano et al. 2008a; Silveira & Morandini 2011).
