Description
Summary:Obelia geniculata (Linnaeus, 1758) (fig. 5 H) Sertularia geniculata Linnaeus, 1758: 812. Obelia geniculata – Cornelius, 1975: 272, figs 1, 5. – Cornelius, 1995b: 301, fig. 70. Material examined. Stn. T14, 23.ii.2005: several sterile, poorly-preserved stems, up to 10 mm high, on Macrocystis pyrifera. Distribution. Previously collected by the S.Y. Scotia from the fronds of Macrocystis pyrifera at Gough Island (Ritchie 1907). This is a near-cosmopolitan species, penetrating high latitudes in the northern hemisphere and into sub-Antarctic waters in the southern hemisphere (Medel & Vervoort 2000). Published as part of Galea, Horia R., 2010, Notes on a small collection of thecate hydroids (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa) from Tristan da Cunha, south Atlantic, pp. 1-18 in Zootaxa 2336 on page 13, DOI:10.5281/zenodo.205235
