Resumen:
During several surveys conducted in shallow, temperate waters of northern Patagonia,
we found hydroids belonging to the family Corymorphidae. Additionally,
sorting more than 2700 plankton samples yielded five specimens of a corymorphid
medusa. Both stages belong to Corymorpha januarii Steenstrup, 1854, a hydrozoan
rarely reported in the literature. This finding extends southwards its geographic
distribution and represents the first Subantarctic record, as well as the first finding
of the medusa stage in nature, confirming its endemism in the tropical and temperate
waters of the Southwestern Atlantic.Corymorpha januarii Steenstrup, 1854, a hydrozoan
