Type locality. Cuba: near Havana, 100–200 fm (183–366 m) (Nutting 1904). Material examined. Nihoa, on algae, 06.ix.2002, 2 colonies or colony fragments, to 5 mm high, without gonothecae, coll. A. Faucci, ROMIZ B5478. Remarks. Discovery of Sertularella areyi Nutting, 1904 from inshore waters of Hawaii in the central Pacific (Calder 2019, 2020), and from diving depths at Nihoa in this study, is surprising given the type locality of the species. The hydroid was originally described by Nutting (1904) from outer neritic and upper bathyal waters (100–200 ftm = 182–364 m) off Cuba, in the western North Atlantic. Records of it from the Atlantic to date have mainly been at intermediate depths, although the species appears to be quite eurybathic. Sertularella areyi has been most widely reported in the western Pacific, with ... : Published as part of Calder, Dale R. & Faucci, Anuschka, 2021, Shallow water hydroids (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) from the 2002 NOWRAMP cruise to the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, pp. 1-73 in Zootaxa 5085 (1) on pages 27-28, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5085.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5802920 ...
