Nausithoe simplex (Kirkpatrick, 1890), comb. nov. (Figs 1–4) Stephanoscyphus simplex Kirkpatrick 1890: 14 (description), Pl. III, fig. 2 (tube), fig. 2a (cusps) [the species was attributed to G.J. Allman, but no published description or manuscript is available]. Tubularia cornucopia: Broch 1916: 29 [not Tubularia cornucopia (Bonnevie, 1898)] [specimens not seen]. Stephanoscyphistoma simplex: Jarms 1990: 11 [mention as a collective group]. History.— As mentioned by Kirkpatrick (1890: 14, footnote), his “bottle” of specimens was labelled with a species name (Stephanoscyphus simplex) that he attributed to G.J. Allman. Kirkpatrick noted, however, that he “...had not seen a published description of that species”. While studying the cnidarian collection at the NHM we found a small vial (NHM 1878.3.26.11) containing four stephanoscyphistomae. The vial was promptly recognized as taxonomically important because data on the label could be linked to the above account of Kirkpatrick. Based on that evidence, but given ... : Published as part of Morandini, André C. & Jarms, Gerhard, 2012, Discovery and redescription of type material of Nausithoe simplex (Kirkpatrick, 1890), comb. nov.
