Material examined. Stn. MEL 02 —06.iii. 2005, 15 m, S81: several fertile colonies, epizoic on Symplectoscyphus filiformis and Obelia dichotoma; S78: one sterile colony, epizoic on Symplectoscyphus subdichotomus (MHNG INVE 53274). Stn. MEL 03 —08.iii.2005, 20– 30 m, S90: small, infertile colony, epizoic on Symplectoscyphus filiformis.

Type locality. Saint Paul, southern Indian Ocean.

Remarks. The present material from Chile agrees well with the redescription provided by Ramil & Vervoort (1992) and needs no further comment. An extensive synonymy of this species is given in Medel & Vervoort (2000). The medusa stage is still undescribed (Cornelius 1995b).

World distribution. Temperate to warm-waters of Atlantic and Indo-Pacific Oceans (Medel & Vervoort 2000, Vervoort 2006).

Records from Chile. The present material was collected around Melinka, Guaitecas Archipelago. This is the first record of the species for Chile.
