Remarks.
The hydroid
Tridentata turbinata
(
Lamouroux, 1816
)
is widespread and relatively well-known in shallow, tropical to subtropical waters. Worldwide, it has been reported from the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans (
Redier 1971
, as
Sertularia turbinata
;
Millard 1975
, as
S. turbinata
;
Rees & Vervoort 1987
, as
S. turbinata
;
Gibbons & Ryland 1989
, as
S. turbinata
;
Calder 1991
a
, 2020;
Hirohito 1995
, as
S. turbinata
;
Migotto 1996
, as
S. turbinata
;
Medel & Vervoort 1998
, as
S. turbinata
;
Schuchert 2003
, as
S. turbinata
;
Humara-Gil & Cruz-Gómez 2018
).
In terms of relationships, the molecular phylogenies of
Maronna
et al
. (2016)
, Song (2019), and
Galea & Maggioni (2021)
combine
T. turbinata
in a clade with
T. marginata
(
Kirchenpauer, 1864
)
,
T. tumida
(
Allman, 1877
)
, and
T. perpusilla
(
Stechow, 1919b
)
, with the last of these being the
type
species of the genus
Tridentata
Stechow, 1920
. Added to that clade by Galea & Maggioni was
Sertularia trigonostoma
Busk, 1852
. In another clade relatively close to them are species here assigned to
Disertasia
Neppi, 2017
, including
Dynamena crisioides
Lamouroux, 1824
,
Sertularia disticha
Bosc, 1802
and
S. moluccana
Pictet, 1893
. In a series of clades more distant from them in the phylograms are
Sertularia pumila
Linnaeus, 1758
,
type
species of
Dynamena
Lamouroux, 1812
,
S. operculata
Linnaeus, 1758
,
type
species of
Amphisbetia
L.
Agassiz, 1862
, and
Sertularia argentea
Linnaeus, 1758
,
type
species of
Sertularia
Linnaeus, 1758
.
Discussion of the hydroid
T. turbinata
in Hawaiian waters has been given elsewhere (
Calder 2020
). In being a predominantly shallow-water species, it was not reported by
Nutting (1905)
in collections from mostly deep waters of the state by the
United States
Bureau of Fisheries steamer
Albatross
.
