Clytia macrotheca ( Perkins, 1908) View in CoL

(fig. 4C, table 4)

Campanularia macrotheca Perkins, 1908: 146 View in CoL , pl. 3 figs 12–13.— Fraser, 1944: 143, pl. 25 fig. 115. Laomedea macrotheca – Leloup, 1935: 21, fig. 8.

Clytia macrotheca View in CoL — Calder, 1991d: 64, fig. 35.

Material examined. Stn. 6: 23.03.2008 —a couple of polyps, less than 2 mm high, no gonothecae, on Halimeda sp. Stn. 7: 25.03.2008 —two small polyps, but no gonothecae, on Halimeda sp.

Type locality. Fort Jefferson, Dry Tortugas, Florida, United States.

Remarks. Though confidently identifiable, the present material is scarce and sterile, and therefore not suitable for a new description of this species. For a recent redescription of its trophosome, see Calder (1991d), who also commented on its synonymy. Fertile specimens were originally found by Perkins (1908), but no data are currently available on the mature medusa.

Distribution. Western Atlantic ( Calder 1991d).
