Material examined . Stn. 7 : 25.03.2008 —a small, sterile colony composed of several unbranched or sparingly branched stems, up to 4 mm high, on alga. Type locality . Embleton Bay, Northumberland, Great Britain. Remarks . The identification of this small, sterile Eudendrium is based on the presence of a single type of nematocysts (heterotrichous microbasic euryteles) in the hydranth. The dimensions of undischarged capsules, (7.0– 8.1) × (3.0– 3.4) µm, are very similar to those reported by Calder (1988 b) for E. capillare from Bermuda, i.e. (7.1 –8.0) × (3.0– 3.2) µm. For a recent description of this species, see Calder (1988 b). Additional notes on the structure of gonophores are given by Marques et al . (2000). Distribution . Reliable records, based on identification of the nematocyst complement, are from Europe, the Mediterranean, Bermuda, South Africa, and Greenland (Schuchert 2001 a). : Published as part of Galea, Horia R., 2008, On a collection of shallow-water hydroids (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa) from Guadeloupe and Les Saintes, French Lesser Antilles, pp. 1-54 in Zootaxa 1878 on page 9, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.184149 : {"references": ["Alder, J.
