Corymorpha microrhiza (Hickson & Gravely, 1907) (Fig. 5 i–l) Material examined. ANT XVII/3: 111-9, few polyps, up to 80 mm high, on gravel, with mature gonophores; ANT XXI/2: PS65/253, few polyps, up to 80 mm high, with developing gonophores; PS65/280, few polyps, up to 140 mm high, with mature gonophores. Remarks. Similarly to Z. parvula, Corymorpha microrhiza was first described as Lampra microrhiza (Hickson & Gravely, 1907), and then allocated within Corymorpha by Stepanjants (1972), re-allocated within Lampra by Stepanjants & Svoboda (1999), and in Monocaulus by Svoboda & Stepanjants (2001). However, the species is now considered to belong to Corymorpha (Vervoort 2009). Svoboda & Stepanjants (2001) provided a detailed description of the syntypes and additional material from the Weddell Sea. Specimens examined here concur in every aspect, but for the presence of branched blastostyles, although exclusively observed in large and mature specimens (Fig. 5j).
