Orthopyxis integra (MacGillivray, 1842) Fig. 113 A, B See Peña Cantero & Carrascosa (2002) for a complete synonymy. Material examined. HCUS-S 120 (Hydrozoa Collection, University of Salento—fauna of the Salento Peninsula). Description (based on our own observations; Cornelius 1995; Schuchert 2001 a; Peña Cantero & Carrascosa 2002): Hydroid. Hydrorhiza tortuous, anastomosing and thick; colonies stolonal; hydranth pedicels thick-walled and usually undulated throughout, with sub-hydrothecal spherule; hydranth with 25–30 tentacles; hydrothecae bellshaped, thick walled in variable degree, rim smooth, usually unthickened and often flared, basally with a perisarc ring limiting a small spherical chamber. Gonothecae sac-shaped, contour often irregular, truncate distally, usually flattened, but sometimes circular in transverse section, on stolons, with short pedicel, females with 1–3 eumedusoid buds. Eumedusoid. Umbrella bell-shaped, higher than wide, mesoglea fairly thick; 4 radial canals either meeting at apex or each closing before they meet, each one with one irregularly-lobed sac-like outgrowth midway along each side; gonads on lobes of radial canals outgrowths; no marginal tentacles; 8 statocysts; sexually mature at release. Cnidome. Microbasic mastigophores. Habitat type. Eurybathic species found in the Mediterranean from the tidal level to 35 m depth (Stechow 1919; Boero & Fresi 1986; Gili 1986). Substrate. A wide variety of algae, phanerogams, ascidians, barnacles, mussel shells, other hydroids and cirripedes, bryozoans, anthozoans, sponge. Seasonality. Present throughout the year (Boero & Fresi 1986; Peña Cantero & García Carrascosa 2002; Puce et al . 2009) in the western Mediterranean; February–September (De Vito 2006; this study) in Salento waters. Reproductive period. In the Mediterranean Sea fertile colonies occur in April (Stechow 1919); May (Boero & Fresi 1986); June (Stechow 1919; Boero & Fresi 1986); July (Picard 1958 b; Boero & Fresi 1986; Peña Cantero & García Carrascosa 2002); August (Boero & Fresi 1986; Morri & Bianchi 1999), and September (Boero & Fresi 1986). Distribution. Cosmopolitan (Broch 1918; Millard 1975; Cornelius 1982; Medel & Vervoort 2000; Medel & López-González 1996; Bouillon et al. 2004; Gravili et al . 2008 a). Records in Salento. Moderately frequent at: La Strea, Porto Cesareo (Presicce 1991; Faucci & Boero 2000; Ventura 2011); Costa Merlata (Fraschetti et al . 2002; Andreano 2007); Otranto (Fraschetti et al . 2002; De Vito 2006; Gravili 2006; Gravili et al. 2008 a; this study); Torre Lapillo, Torre dell’Inserraglio, S.ta Caterina (Andreano 2007). Other Apulian records: Gargano (Fraschetti et al . 2002). Remarks. The hydroid stage and the eumedusoid were seen in the present study. Among the Campanulariidae, O. integra is unusually varied in morphology (for more details see Cornelius 1982; Vervoort 1993). References.
