Remarks: Hydractinia minuta was recorded by Pagès & Orejas (1999) for the Magellan region, and subsequently listed for South America by Tronolone 2001; Migotto et al. 2002; Palma et al. 2007 a p. 69 - 71, 73, 74, 2007 b p. 74, 78, 80 - 81. The species H. minuta was synonymized to H. carica by Broch (1916) and Rees (1956) after re-examination of type material. The South American occurrence of this species is disputable, because the species is “ predominantly arctic ” Schuchert (2008, p. 265). Recently, Galea (2007 p. 25) considered Dysmorphosa tenuis Browne, 1902 to be a junior synonym of Hydractinia tenuis Browne, 1902. Both records may refer to the same species and, presently, we keep the updated name Podocoryna tenuis (Browne, 1902) Distribution in South America: medusa — Pacific Ocean, Chile, from 41.50 ° S to 55.50 ° S (Pagès & Orejas 1999; Galea 2007; Villenas et al. 2009; Bravo et al. 2011); Atlantic Ocean, Brazil, from 23.70 ° S to 24 ° S, at Malvinas (Falkland) Islands, and Strait of Magellan (Browne 1902; Browne & Kramp 1939; Pagès & Orejas 1999; Tronolone 2001; Migotto et al. 2002; Genzano et al. 2008 a; Silveira & Morandini 2011).
