description: Corymorpha januarii Steenstrup, 1855
Synonyms in the area: Amalthea? Hybocodon? januarii —Mayer 1910 [medusa]; Amalthea? januarii —Vannucci 1951a [medusa]; Corymorpha sp. Migotto & Silveira, 1987 [polyp]; Hybocodon unicus —Zamponi & Facal 1987; Genzano et al. 2009a [non Hybocodon unicus (Browne, 1902)] [polyp].
Remarks: Vannucci (1951a) recorded Amalthea? januarii (Steenstrup, 1854) for the region extended between Ilha Grande and Cabo Frio (Brazil), based on the record of Amalthea? Hybocodon? januarii from Mayer (1910a) for Rio de Janeiro State. Migotto & Silveira (1987) recorded Corymorpha sp. for Ubatuba, subsequently reidentified as Corymorpha januarii Steenstrup, 1854 (Silveira & Migotto 1992).
Distribution in South America: polyp—Atlantic Ocean, Brazil to Argentina, from 22°S to 42.64°S (Steenstrup 1854; Vannucci 1951b; Mayer 1910; Migotto & Silveira 1987; Silveira & Migotto 1992; Migotto et al. 2002; Genzano et al. 2009a, 2009b; Silveira & Morandini 2011; Miranda et al. 2015);
medusa—Atlantic Ocean, Brazil to Argentina, from 23°S to 24°S, from 27°S to 28°S, from 37°S to 42.5°S (Vannucci 1951b; Silveira & Migotto 1992; Tronolone 2001; Migotto et al. 2002; Genzano et al. 2009b; Nogueira Jr. 2012; Guerrero et al. 2013; Nogueira Jr. et al. 2015a).
Habitat: endemic to the southwestern Atlantic Ocean; polyp—with digging behavior, with basal part embedded in soft bottoms in shallow waters, up to 25m depth;
medusa—planktonic medusae with ephemeral life, rarely sampled in plankton tows. (Migotto & Silveira 1987; Silveira & Migotto 1992; Genzano et al. 2009a).
