Description
Ophiodes corrugata Fraser, 1936a
Ophiodes corrugata Fraser, 1936a: 504, figs. 2Α, B.
Ophiodissa corrugata.— Fraser, 1937a: 113, pl. 23, figs. 128a–c.
Hydrodendron corrugatum.— Rees & Vervoort, 1987: 22.
Syntypes. BCPM 976-00509-001: Canada, British Columbia, Houston Stewart Channel; slide.
Lectotype, by present designation. RBCM 976-00509-002: Canada, British Columbia, Queen Charlotte Islands (= Haida Gwaii), Houston Stewart Channel, off Rose Harbour, 30 fm (55 m), June-early September 1935, one colony fragment (on the left side of the slide), 1.8 mm long, in good condition, without gonophores; slide.
Paralectotypes. BCPM 976-00509-001: Canada, British Columbia, Queen Charlotte Islands (=Haida Gwaii), Houston Stewart Channel, off Rose Harbour, 30 fm (55 m), June-early September 1935, several fragments mounted with lectotype, in good condition, without gonophores; slide.
Type locality. Canada, British Columbia: Queen Charlotte Islands (= Haida Gwaii), Houston Stewart Channel, off Rose Harbour, 30 fm (55 m) (Fraser 1936a).
Current status. Valid, as Hydrodendron corrugatum (Fraser, 1936a).
Remarks. (Fraser 1936a) established Ophiodes corrugata based on sterile material. Several colonies appear to have been available to him in describing the species (see Fraser 1936a, 504; 1947a: 281). Specimens, taken to be syntypes, exist on a slide at the RBCM (BCPM 976-00509-001). No other types are known to exist. As lectotype, we have selected a 1.8 mm-long specimen with several hydrothecae and nematothecae. That colony (RBCM 976- 00509-002) is on the left side of the slide, with all others mounted with it constituting paralectotypes (BCPM 976- 00509-001).
The species was reported again, but not described, from San Miguel Island, California (Fraser 1948). Rees & Vervoort (1987), Cairns et al. (2002), and WoRMS refer to this hydroid under the binomen Hydrodendron corrugatum.
