| Summary: | Bimeria corynopsis Vanhöffen, 1910 (Figs 1 A, 2A–B, 3A–B) Bimeria corynopsis Vanhöffen, 1910: 287 –288, fig. 12; Stepanjants, 1979: 12, pl. 1 fig. 5; Peña Cantero, 2014b: 1713 –1714, fig. 2a. Material examined. Gauss Deutschen Südpolar-Expedition 1901–1903: Syntype (ZMB Cni 7280), Gauss Station, 7.II.1903, 65°21'S – 86°06'E (Davis Sea), 385 m, a few stems, without gonophores, on Staurotheca noscripta. Description. Colonies with little-developed stems (Fig. 1 A), usually with single distal polyp (Fig. 2 B), but branched stems, with up to three polyps observed (Figs 1 A, 2A). Stem perisarc strong (Fig. 2 A, B), mostly annulated, continuing on hydranth body as a thin film. Polyps 550–600 µm high and c. 240 µm in maximum diameter. Polyps with conical hypostome and a crown of about 12 tentacles in apparently two closely set rows (Figs 2 A, B, 3A). Tentacle distal tips apparently with concentration of nematocysts giving them appearance of slightly capitate tentacles (Fig. 3 A). Gonosome unknown.
