Clytia

description: Clytia sp.
Synonyms in the area: Phialidium sp.—Vannucci 1958; Moreira 1973; Correia 1983; Palma 1985, 1994; Palma & Rosales 1995 [medusa];? Clytia cf. gigantea —Galea et al. 2009b p. 22–23 [polyp].
Remarks: Tronolone (2001, 2008) remarked on the impossibility of identification of Clytia medusae because of character overlapping among species. Vannucci (1957b) recorded two specimens belonging to the genus Clytia together with the records of Clytia cylindrica Agassiz, 1862. Galea’s et al. (2009b p. 22–23) record of C. gigantea was assigned by Galea & Schories (2012a p. 62–63) to Clytia sp.
Distribution in South America: polyp—Pacific Ocean, Chile, from 29.18°S to 53.78°S (Galea 2007 p. 91; Galea et al. 2009b p. 22–23; Galea & Schories 2012a p. 62–63); Atlantic Ocean, Colombia, at Santa Marta coast, Brazil, from 9.70°S to 9.80°S, from 23.25°S to 27.5°S (Wedler 1975; Migotto et al. 2004; Shimabukuro 2007; Nagata et al. 2014b; Cabral et al. 2015);
medusa—Pacific Ocean, Chile, from 23.50ºS to 46ºS, at 33.67ºS 78.84ºW (Palma 1985, 1994; Palma & Rosales 1995; Pagès & Orejas 1999; Palma & Apablaza 2004; Apablaza & Palma 2006; Palma et al. 2007b); Atlantic Ocean, Brazil, at 3.86ºS 32.38ºW, at 20.5ºS 29.36ºW, from 20.5°S to 29.50°S, Argentina, from 40.83°S to 42.25°S (Vannucci 1957b, 1958; Moreira 1973; Correia 1983; Tronolone 2001, 2008; Migotto et al. 2002; Nascimento 2010; Guerrero et al. 2013; Nagata et al. 2014a, 2014b).
Habitat: polyp—from 9 to 26m, on ascidians, bryozoans, Caprella sp., polychaete tubes, red algae, hydroids (e.g., Symplectoscyphus subdichotomus, Hybocodon chilensis, Plumularia setacea, Symplectoscyphus filiformis), Microphrys bicornutus, Mithraculus forceps, mussels, sponges, and as free floating planktonic colonies (Galea 2007 p. 91; Shimabukuro 2007; Galea & Schories 2012a p. 62–63; Nagata et al. 2014b; Cabral et al. 2015).
