Family PENNARIIDAE View in CoL
Pennaria disticha (Goldfuss, 1820) Introduced View in CoL (= Halocordyle disticha View in CoL ; = Halocordyle cooperi Warren, 1906 View in CoL ).
This hydroid is now too widespread to determine its biogeographic origins without extensive molecular genetic analysis. The first South African specimens were collected in Natal (now KwaZulu-Natal) in 1906 ( Warren 1906, 1907) and were mistakenly re-described as a native species, Halocordyle cooperi View in CoL . Millard (1975) gives the South African distribution as Durban to the Mozambique border on the east coast. The habitat is described as “lower littoral to 3 m and on ships’ hulls” ( Millard 1975).
