Remarks. The identification of this small, sterile Eudendrium is based on the presence of a single type of nematocysts (heterotrichous microbasic euryteles) in the hydranth. The dimensions of undischarged capsules, (7.0 – 8.1) × (3.0 – 3.4) µm, are very similar to those reported by Calder (1988 b) for E. capillare from Bermuda, i. e. (7.1 – 8.0) × (3.0 – 3.2) µm. For a recent description of this species, see Calder (1988 b). Additional notes on the structure of gonophores are given by Marques et al. (2000).

Distribution. Reliable records, based on identification of the nematocyst complement, are from Europe, the Mediterranean, Bermuda, South Africa, and Greenland (Schuchert 2001 a).
