Eudendrium sp. 2

? Eudendrium capillare View in CoL .— Nutting, 1905: 939.

Material examined. None.

Remarks. Nutting (1905) assigned a sterile colony of Eudendrium Ehrenberg, 1834 from bathyal waters off Hawaii, with question, to E. capillare Alder, 1856 . No description of the species was given, other than its general size (“…somewhat larger than British specimens”; Nutting, 1905: 939), and no illustration was provided. The material is listed in the NMNH catalog (Molokai: Albatross Stn. 3854, south of Kamalo, 20.995833º N, 156.861111º W, 9.iv.1902, 238– 245 m, without gonophores, labelled Eudendrium capillare, USNM 22216), but it could not be located for this study (Geoff Keel, pers. comm., 05 April 2010). The identity of the species remains doubtful.

Reported distribution. Hawaii. Albatross Stn. 3854, “off the south coast of … Molokai, 134 fathoms” (245 m) ( Nutting 1905, as? Eudendrium capillare ) .
