Plumularia paucinema Fraser, 1940b: 42 View in CoL , fig. 3.

Kirchenpaueria paucinema .— Cairns et al., 2002: 20.

Syntype material. None known to exist.

Type locality. USA, California: Santa Cruz Island, Scorpion Harbor ( Fraser 1940b).

Current status. Valid, as Kirchenpaueria paucinema ( Fraser, 1940b) .

Remarks. Fraser (1940b) failed to designate name-bearing types of Plumularia paucinema , and the species was not listed as part of the Fraser Hydroid Collection by Arai (1977). No material, type or otherwise, could be located at the AMNH, CAS, CMN, MCZ, NMNH, RBCM, ROM, SBMNH, or YPM. Based on characters noted in the original description, the species was assigned to Kirchenpaueria Jickeli, 1883 by Cairns et al. (2002), as K. paucinema .

The hydroids examined by Fraser (1940b) were collected at Scorpion Harbor, Santa Cruz Island, California, by Willis G. Hewatt (1904–1980) of Texas Christian University. The species, found in kelp beds on 25 June 1939, was rare ( Hewatt 1946).
