Laomedea calceolifera (Hincks, 1871)

Synonyms in the area:? Campanularia calceolifera —Vannucci 1949, 1951a [polyp].

Remarks: Vannucci (1949:230) studied material without gonophores and considered it difficult to identify species of the genus based on trophosome only. She contrasted the trophosome of her material with those of Obelia braziliensis (=? Obelia dichotoma) and Obelia hyalina (=? Obelia dichotoma). Therefore, we consider the record doubtful until further material can be sampled.

Distribution in South America: polyp—Atlantic Ocean, Brazil, at 20.55°S 40.24°W, from 22.50°S to 23.30°S (Vannucci 1949, 1951a; Migotto et al. 2002);

medusa—Atlantic Ocean, Brazil, at 20.55°S 40.24°W, at 22.94°S 43.87°W, at 23°S 42°W (Vannucci 1951a).

Habitat: polyp—at 35m depth (Vannucci 1949).
