Remarks: the record of this species at Tierra del Fuego by Blanco (1976) is doubtful and it may correspond to E. ramosum , but to reassign that further studies are necessary. The Brazilian record (Mayal 1973) does not have a voucher and the specimen is also considered doubtful. Distribution in South America: polyp—Pacific Ocean, Peru , at 6.95°S 80.70°W in Isla Lobos de Afuera, Chile , at 41.76°S in Calbuco (Hartlaub 1905 p. 548; Fraser 1948); Atlantic Ocean, Brazil , from 7.58°S to 7.91°S , from 40°S to 42°S, from 48°S to 56°S (Vervoort 1972; Maÿal 1973, 1978; Blanco 1976a, 1984a, 1994a; Genzano & Zamponi 1997). Habitat: polyp—from 40 to 72m depth, on red sponges (Fraser 1948; Vervoort 1972; Blanco 1976a, 1984a, 1994a; Maÿal 1978).
