Symplectoscyphus cumberlandicus (Jäderholm, 1905) (Pl. 1S, Fig. 2 T, U) Symplectoscyphus cumberlandicus — Peña Cantero, Svoboda & Vervoort, 2002: 1519, fig. 3. — Peña Cantero, 2010: 769, fig. 5B, C. Material examined. Stn. SHO — 20.ii.2011, Ant.07/2011 (20–30 m): a fragmentary colony composed of two stems ca. 10 cm high, both bearing numerous gonothecae (MHNG-INVE-79783); 26.ii.2011, Ant.10/2011 (20–30 m): fragmentary colony, largest fragment ca. 10 cm high (taller in life), fertile female (MHNG-INVE-79784). Remarks. For a description of S. cumberlandicus and its synonymy, see Peña Cantero et al. (2002) and Peña Cantero (2010). This species has a very brittle perisarc and preserved material is often fragmentary. There are only two descriptions of the general shape of the colonies in the literature (Jäderholm 1905, Peña Cantero 2010). The living specimen from sample Ant.07/2011 is illustrated on Pl. 1S. It is composed of two stems arising from a well developed rhizoidal hydrorhiza. Their branching is ... : Published as part of Galea, Horia R. & Schories, Dirk, 2012, Some hydrozoans (Cnidaria) from King George Island, Antarctica, pp. 1-21 in Zootaxa 3321 on page 12, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.213236 ...
