Galea, Horia R. (2020): Aglaopheniid hydroids (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa: Aglaopheniidae) from off New Caledonia collected during KANACONO and KANADEEP expeditions of the French Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos Program. European Journal of Taxonomy 615: 1-47, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2020.615
Remarks For a description of this species, refer to Schuchert (2003), who documented gonocladia bearing incipient gonothecae only, while the mature ones are still to be described. According to the present material, the plate-like intrahydrothecal septum is pierced in its center by a large, rounded foramen. The passage of the hydranth takes place in front of the septum and its body passes between the two lateral, arched perisarcal ridges.
