... corrugata Coryne corrugata Fraser, 1925: 167, fig. 1 Remarks. In describing Coryne corrugata, Fraser (1925) did not designate name-bearing types of the species. Specimens considered parts of the type series exist at CAS (CAS-IZ 21798.00) and in the Fraser Hydroid Collection at the RBCM (BCPM 976-00128-001). The CAS material is in good condition, and the best specimen available from this ...

... & Lindner (2008), these two polyps are indeed syntypes. Our examination revealed that both specimens are fragmented. Three parts of the larger polyp were matched and constitute what we designate here as the lectotype (USNM 43450). This polyp corresponds with the specimen illustrated in Fraser's original description of the species (pl. 13, fig. 1a). The second specimen, and all miscellaneous remaining fragments, are included as paralectotype material (USNM ...

... slide of the species, from the same sample and on the same substrate (a species of Sertularella), exists in the Fraser Hydroid Collection at the RBCM (BCPM 976-00474-001). With the species having been based on a single specimen (Fraser 1940a) from Nantucket Shoals, and with no subsequent records of the species having been reported from the type locality (Fraser 1944a, 1947a), we consider the RBCM material to be a fragment of the holotype (i.e., a schizoholotype). This is a miniscule (to 1.2 mm high), easily overlooked, and poorly known species, reported only from two locations (the type locality of Nantucket Shoals, and also off Chatham Light) on the coast of Massachusetts, USA (Fraser 1944a). ...

... listed in the online database of that museum as a syntype, the specimen count is correctly indicated as "1". Moreover, Fraser's (1941b: 83, 84) original description of the species reveals that it was based on a single male colony, stating "…the specimen from which this species is described…" The single NMNH specimen is therefore the holotype (ICZN Art. ...

The specimen count is correctly given as "1" in the online database of that museum, and no other type material is known to exist. While currently listed therein as a syntype, it is taken here to be the holotype by monotypy (ICZN Art. ...

Material in the Fraser Hydroid Collection at the RBCM (BCPM 976-00508-001), comprising a single colony consistent with both the descriptive account and illustration in Fraser (1914b: figs. 1a, b), is considered by us to be the holotype by monotypy (ICZN Art. 73.1.2). The specimen and its bryozoan substrate have now slipped beyond the coverslip of the slide, but are still embedded in Canada ...

That specific name, however, has been placed on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Specific Names in Zoology (ICZN Opinion 1465). Obelia hyalina Clarke, 1879, the next available name, was resurrected for the species in a previous work (Calder 2013). ...
