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 modern descriptions of this species, refer to Watson (2002, 2018) and Vervoort & Watson (2003). As noted by Watson (2002), A. sinuosa is easily recognizable through the sinuous bends at intervals along the stem that mark a reversal of the orientation of cladia. Although a reversal is present in sample MNHN-IK- 2015 - 545, the condition of the stem is little affected.
