Synonyms in the area: Plumularia oligopyxis Kirchenpauer 1876 p. 48–49; Nutting 1900 p. 57–58 [polyp]. Remarks: Calder (1997 p. 4, as Plumularia oligopyxis ) reasonably considered this species as a possible synonym of Ventromma halecioides . However, the elucidation of this proposal needs more study. Distribution in South America: polyp—Pacific Ocean, no specific record for the coast of South America (Kirchenpauer 1876 p. 48–49; Nutting 1900 p. 57–58).
