A RE-DESCRIPTION OF FRILLAGALMA-VITYAZI DANIEL 1966 (SIPHONOPHORAE, AGALMATIDAE)

Ten complete specimens of Frillagalma vityazi Daniel, 1966 (Siphonopho rae, Agalmatidae) were collected by the submersibles Johnson-Sea-Link I and II. These have allowed a more detailed description of the specie s to be made, as it was previously known only by its ill-preserved nec tophores and one type of its bracts. The taxonomic status of the speci es is discussed. In addition much material has been identified from th e Discovery collections, and the distribution of the species in the No rth Atlantic Ocean is considered.
