Sertularella leiocarpoides Vervoort, 1993 Figs 9 D–G, 10A; Table 5 Sertularella leiocarpoides Vervoort, 1993: 223, fig. 49. Material examined BATHUS 2: Stn. CP737, a 5 cm high, sterile colony devoid of hydrorhiza (MNHN-IK-2012-16581). BATHUS 3:Stn.DW829,a 3.5cm high colony fragment bearing one gonotheca(MNHN-IK-2012-16582); Stn. DW830, a 5 cm high and 7.5 cm wide sterile colony (MNHN-IK-2012-16583). SALOMON 1: Stn. DW1741, a 2 cm high, sterile colony (MNHN-IK-2012-16584). Remarks The four available specimens were compared to a colony of Sertularella leiocarpa (Allman, 1888) from Inaccessible Island (see Galea 2015b). Portions of three of them are illustrated altogether with S. leiocarpa , so as to show their specific differences (compare Fig. 5 D–F and 5G). As already noted by Vervoort (1993), the internodes are thick, short and geniculate in S. leiocarpoides , and comparatively more slender, longer, and less geniculate in S. leiocarpa . In addition, the hydrothecae of Vervoort’s species have the adaxial cusps characteristically upturned, and there are generally also two inconspicuous latero-adaxial, internal, submarginal projections of the perisarc and, occasionally, a third one, on the abaxial side. Geographical distribution New Caledonia (Vervoort 1993; present study), Solomon Islands (present study). : Published as part of Galea, Horia R., 2016, Notes on some sertulariid hydroids (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa) from the tropical western Pacific, with descriptions of nine new species, pp. 1-52 in European Journal of Taxonomy 218 on pages 33-35, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2016.218, http://zenodo.org/record/3840195 : {"references": ["Vervoort W. 1993.
