Type locality. USA , Massachusetts : edge of continental shelf south of Martha’s Vineyard , 40°03’N , 70°31’W , 183 m ( Fraser 1940a ). Current status. Valid. Remarks. Fraser’s (1940a)type ” of Egmundella fasciculata is currently listed as a holotype in the online database of the NMNH (USNM 43436). However, several colonies or colony fragments were present in the collection. The best of these specimens has been designated as the lectotype (USNM 43436). All others in the series are paralectotypes (USNM 1458911). Also present in this collection, together with the paralectotypes , are specimens of a species of campanularioid. Other material from the same collection, held in the Fraser Hydroid Collection at the RBCM (BCPM 976-00289-001), is labelled a “co-type” of E. fasciculata . Now in poor condition, it likewise constitutes a paralectotype . Egmundella fasciculata is listed as valid by Cairns et al . (2002) and WoRMS. The species is known only from the original description, and only from its trophosome.
