Remarks.
Fraser (1940b)
failed to designate name-bearing
types
of
Plumularia paucinema
, and the species was not listed as part of the Fraser Hydroid Collection by Arai (1977). No material,
type
or otherwise, could be located at the AMNH, CAS, CMN, MCZ, NMNH, RBCM, ROM, SBMNH, or YPM. Based on characters noted in the original description, the species was assigned to
Kirchenpaueria
Jickeli, 1883
by
Cairns
et al
. (2002)
, as
K. paucinema
.
The hydroids examined by
Fraser (1940b)
were collected at Scorpion Harbor, Santa Cruz Island,
California
, by Willis G. Hewatt (
1904–1980
) of
Texas
Christian University. The species, found in kelp beds on
25 June 1939
, was rare (
Hewatt 1946
).
