Campanularia macroscypha Allman, 1877
Fig. 15a, b
Campanularia macroscypha Allman, 1877: 11, pl. 8, figs. 1, 2.— Fraser, 1943: 88.
Type locality. USA: Florida, off Sand Key, 120 fathoms (219 m) (Allman 1877).
Voucher material. Off St. Lucie Inlet, 27°10.8’N, 80°02.5’W, on Eudendrium carneum, 22 m, 24.vii.1975, Johnson-Sea-Link, JSL 273, one colony, up to 2 mm high, without gonophores, coll. T. Askew, ROMIZ B1088.— Off St. Lucie Inlet, 27°11.4’N, 80°00.9’W, 42 m, 18.v.1976, Johnson-Sea-Link, diver lockout, one colony, up to 4 mm high, without gonophores, coll. M. Flake, ROMIZ B1101.— Off St. Lucie Inlet, 27°10.8’N, 80°00.8’W, 43 m, 24.viii.1977, Johnson-Sea-Link, JSL 1439, diver lockout, one colony, up to 1.1 cm high, without medusa buds, coll. J. Reed, ROMIZ B1104.
Remarks. Campanularia macroscypha Allman 1877 is distinguished by having long, cylindrical hydrothecae with a dozen or more deeply-cut, linguiform cusps, and irregularly-segmented pedicels. It is known only from the southeastern United States and Gulf of Mexico. A hydroid of relatively deep waters, its previously-known bathymetric range is 84–1119 m (Henry et al. 2008). Voucher material above from St. Lucie Inlet was from shallower depths of 22– 43 m. Specimens reported from a station (Stn. 117, 32°04.03’N, 65°02.48’W) on Challenger Bank, off Bermuda (Calder 2000) were collected at 49 m.
Gonothecae of this species remain undescribed.
Reported distribution. Atlantic coast of Florida. First record.
Western Atlantic. Cape Lookout, North Carolina (Henry et al. 2008) to the Gulf of Mexico north of Yucatan (Fraser 1944), as well as Bermuda (Calder 1998, 2000).
