Ventromma halecioides (Alder, 1859) Fig. 13f Plumularia halecioides Alder, 1859: 353, pl. 12, figs. 1–5. Ventromma halecioides. — Jones, 2002: 218. Type locality. UK: England, Cullercoats and Roker (Alder 1859). Voucher material. Fort Pierce, ship canal at Link Port, 27°32’05”N, 80°20’50”W, 0.1 m, 17.ii.1991, on prop roots of Rhizophora mangle , 15° C, 22‰, collected by snorkeling, 10 cormoids, up to 1.3 cm high, without gonophores, coll. D.R. Calder, ROMIZ B1108. Remarks . Differences between the genera Kirchenpaueria Jickeli, 1883 and Ventromma Stechow, 1923 appear slight morphologically, and the two are frequently regarded as congeneric. The trophosome of Ventromma is distinguished by having nematophores with nematothecae, lacking in Kirchenpaueria . Ventromma is retained in this work based largely on evidence from molecular work (Leclère et al . 2007; Moura et al . 2008; Peña Cantero et al . 2010), showing that V. halecioides (Alder, 1859), its type species, is genetically distant from Kirchenpaueria pinnata (Linnaeus, 1758), type species of Kirchenpaueria . A species often found inshore in quiet-water areas, Ventromma halecioides (Alder 1859) was found here on red mangroves bordering the canal leading into the harbor at the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, Fort Pierce. Reported distribution. Atlantic coast of Florida. Biscayne Bay (Jones 2002). Western Atlantic. North Carolina (Fraser 1912b, as Plumularia inermis Nutting, 1900) to Brazil (Oliveira et al . submitted), including Bermuda (Calder 1997), the Gulf of Mexico (Calder & Cairns 2009), and the Caribbean Sea (Galea 2008, as Kirchenpaueria halecioides ).
