Material examined SOUTH ATLANTIC OCEAN • 7 colonies, without gonothecae (1 growing on Zygophylax sp., 1 on bivalve shell, and 5 on ghost fishing net); Valdivia Seamount, stn BT12; 24°49′01″–24°47′38″ S, 6°24′40″–6°25′26″ E; 887– 886 m depth; 7 Feb. 2015; SEAFO-2015 leg.; SEAFO-2015-40282, SEAFO-2015-40402, SEAFO-2015-40762, SEAFO-2015-40797, SEAFO-2015-40811, SEAFO- 2015-40850, SEAFO-2015-40852. Distribution Halecium tenellum is a nearly cosmopolitan species (Cornelius 1975), with records from all oceans, including polar waters, although some identifications from high latitudes in the North Atlantic proved to be erroneous (Calder 1991; Schuchert 2005). Reported from South Africa by Millard (1975). Its bathymetric range extends from the intertidal zone to 1200 m (Peña Cantero & García Carrascosa 2002). : Published as part of Gil, Marta & Ramil, Fran, 2021, Hydroids (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) from the Vema and Valdivia seamounts (SE Atlantic), pp. 49-96 in European Journal of Taxonomy 758 on pages 66-67, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2021.758.1425, http://zenodo.org/record/5088125 : {"references": ["Hincks T. 1861.
