CURRENT SPECIES

WITHIN THE TENTACULARIIDAE POCHE, 1926 SENSU PALM (1997A)

On the basis of the present study, the tentaculariid genera Kotorella Euzet & Radujkovic, 1989 , Nybelinia Poche, 1926 , Heteronybelinia Palm, 1999 , Mixonybelinia Palm, 1999 and Tentacularia Bosc, 1797 are represented by 39 different species. Three further species were considered as species of uncertain status by Palm et al. (1997), two species are considered as species inquirendae in the present study, Nybelinia sp. in Palm (1999) needs to be reexamined, and two species, N. bisulcata and N. tenuis , require re-description from type material to confirm their validity.
