Corella eumyota Traustedt, 1882 from Chile Figs 3, 4A. Material examined - 42°27’ S – 73°45’ W, 24/08/1972, coll. Coloma. - Chili without precision, 26/03/1970, coll. Gallardo. - Guaitecas Islands, 44° S–073° W, 24 m, SMNH 126199, Arnback-Christie-Linde coll. The type of Corella eumyota from Chile (Valparaiso) could not be found among the Traustedt material (pers. com. Zoologisk Museum Copenhagen). We have examined Corella samples present in the MNHN collections collected close to the type station and they correpond well to the Traustedt description. Ärnback-Christie-Linde (1929) described from Chili (Guaitecas Islands) small specimens with the same musculature and gonads as in C. eumyota but the gonoducts are not mentioned. We examined her specimens and they probably belong to the same species as the ones described by Traustedt. They are from a near by area. In her discussion she already doubted of the identity with true Antarctic specimens. The anatomical characters correspond to the Traustedt description. ... : Published as part of Monniot, Françoise, 2013, The genus Corella (Ascidiacea, Phlebobranchia, Corellidae) in the Southern Hemisphere with description of a new species, pp. 135-149 in Zootaxa 3702 (2) on pages 138-140, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3702.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/247031 ...
