Although no typesof it were originally designated in that paper, material of the species exists at the museum (MCZ-IZ 9011) from the typelocality, and with labels marked “ type” and “ holotype”. Noother typesare known to exist, and the single specimen, a fragment of a hydrocaulus with 13 hydrocladia or parts thereof, is the holotypeby monotypy. It is in satisfactory condition, although hydranths are mostly deteriorated or absent. This is another poorly known hydroid species, described by Fraser (1943a)from the trophosome only. Norecords of it have been published since the original description, although non-type material from North Carolina, identified as  G. rigida, exists at the NMNH (USNM 61370, USNM 61371, USNM 72875). The species is listed as valid in WoRMS. 1915525952 [199,1319,1074,1099] Barbados 183 13.05 Sandy Bay 21 -59.583332 40 41 1 holotype
