Type locality . Salcombe Bay, Devon, Great Britain. Remarks . This is a well-known species that needs little additional comment. Descriptions are available in Vervoort (1959), Ramil & Vervoort (1992), and Bouillon et al . (2004). Details on live hydranths of this species were provided by Cornelius (1998). Data on nematocyst complement from Brazilian material were given by Migotto (1996). Extensive data on bibliography, synonymy and geographical distribution are available in Medel & Vervoort (2000). Substantial size differences exist among populations from different localities around the world, as shown in Table 2. These differences, most probably without any taxonomic significance, are certainly due to a combination of both geographical and ecological factors. Calder (1991) regarded the Arctic and Antarctic reports of this species as doubtful, arguing that numerous samples were based on infertile material and/or erroneous identifications. World distribution . Regarded as cosmopolitan by Cornelius (1995 a), and as a largely temperate and tropical species by Calder (1991). Records from Chile . Navarino Island, Smith Channel (Hartlaub 1905), Fitzroy Channel (Jäderholm 1910), Chacao Channel, Gulf of Ancud, Magellan Strait (Leloup 1974), Fjord Piti Palena (present study). : Published as part of Galea, Horia R., Försterra, Günter & Häussermann, Verena, 2007, Additions to the hydroids (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa) from the fjords region of southern Chile, pp. 55-68 in Zootaxa 1650 on pages 59-61, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.179758 : {"references": ["Hincks, T.
