Coelenterata Hydroids Great Australian Bight Tasman Sea Cryptolaria tortuosa sp. nov. Halecium obovatum sp. nov. Symplectoscyphus pirsa sp. nov. Gymnangium pusillum sp. nov.

Abstract

This report adds to knowledge of the shelf hydroid fauna of the Great Australian Bight. Hydroids were collected by the South Australian Museum and Department of Primary Industries of South Australia (PIRSA). Well known species are annotated, poorly known species are redescribed and four new species are described.
