Sphaerocoryne bedoti Pictet, 1893

Synonyms in the area:? Corynitis agassizii —Fraser 1938a; Calder et al. 2003 [polyp]; Syncoryne flexibilis Fraser, 1938a, 1948 [polyp];? Syncoryne mirabilis —Fraser 1938a [part]; Calder et al. 2003 [polyp].

Remarks: Calder et al. (2003) examined Fraser’s material and considered the record of Corynitis agassizii McCrady, 1859 to be a probable misidentification of Sphaerocoryne bedoti Pictet, 1893 . He also examined part of Fraser’s specimens identified as Syncoryne mirabilis (L. Agassiz, 1849) and concluded that they also resemble S. bedoti Pictet, 1893 .
