Description

Sertularella albida Kirchenpauer, 1884

(Figure 1)

Sertularella robusta Clark, 1877: 225, pl. 13, figs. 32–33 [not Sertularella robusta Coughtrey 1876: 300]. Sertularella albida Kirchenpauer, 1884: 42.— Nutting, 1904: 86, pl. 19, figs. 1–2.— Linko, 1912: 116.— Fraser, 1937: 151, pl. 33, fig. 176.—Naumov, 1969: 375, fig. 239.

Material. CANADA: British Columbia. 54˚07’00”N, 132˚06’42”W, 0 4. v.1961, 18.3 meters. Hydrocauli, branches, without gonothecae, ROMIZ B4027.

Reported distribution. North of the Sea of Japan in the Tartar Strait (=Strait of Tartary, Russia) (Naumov 1969); across the Bering Sea from Kamchatka to the Schumagin (=Shumagin) Islands (Kirchenpauer 1884). Northeastern Pacific: Alaskan coast (Clark 1877); Queen Charlotte Islands (=Haida Gwaii), western portion of Houston-Stewart Channel (Fraser 1936b; 1937); as far south as Matia and Waldron islands, San Juan archipelago (Fraser 1914).

Remarks. This species was originally described as Sertularella robusta from the Aleutian Islands, Alaska by Clark (1877). That binomen is a permanently invalid junior primary homonym of S. robusta Coughtrey, 1876 (Calder & Stephens 1997). Kirchenpauer (1884) proposed the valid current name of the taxon, S. albida.
