discussion
Remarks: this species was first described by Allman (1877) based on specimens without hydranths and gonophores, and therefore, it was considered by Calder (1988 p. 42, 43) as a nomen dubium. Distribution in South America: polyp — Pacific Ocean, Colombia, at 2.99 ° N 78.20 ° W in Gorgona Island, Ecuador, at 0.56 ° N 80.01 ° W in San Francisco Bay, from 1.4 ° N to 1.42 ° S in Galápagos Archipelago (Fraser 1938 a, 1938 b, 1939, 1948; Calder et al. 2003). Habitat: polyp — from 37 to 274 m depth (Fraser 1938 b, 1948; Calder et al. 2003).
