Hydroides diramphus Mörch, 1863
Hydroides (Eucarphus) dirampha Mörch, 1863: 379. Type locality/origin: “in portu urbis St. Thomae Antillarum”
(Caribbean Sea).
* Hydroides lunulifera. — POTTS 1928: 701.
° Hydroides dirampha. — ZIBROWIUS 1971: 705.
Hydroides dirampha. — GHOBASHY et al. 1986: 320.
Hydroides dirampha. — GHOBASHY et al. 1990: 677.
Regional distribution: Suez Canal.
Remarks: According to ZIBROWIUS (1971), H. lunulifera (Claparède, 1870) is a synonym of
H. diramphus.
Hydroides elegans (Haswell, 1883)
Eupomatus elegans Haswell, 1883: 633. Type locality/origin: “Port Jackson” (Australia, Sydney, W Pacific).
Hydroides norvegica. — FAUVEL 1911: 427.
Hydroides norwegica. — PIXELL 1913: 74.
Hydroides norvegica. — POTTS 1928: 700.
Hydroides norvegica. — FAUVEL 1933 a: 76.
Hydroides norvegica. — FAUVEL 1933 b: 142.
Hydroides elegans. — BEN-ELIAHU 1972 a: 77.
Hydroides elegans. — MOHAMMAD 1976: 133.
Hydroides norvegica. — AMOUREUX et al. 1978: 144.
° Hydroides elegans. — BIANCHI 1981: 56.
Hydroides elegans. — AMOUREUX 1983 c: 369.
Hydroides elegans. — VINE & BAILEY-BROCK 1984: 139.
Hydroides elegans. — GHOBASHY et al. 1986: 321.
Hydroides elegans. — GHOBASHY et al. 1990: 677.
Regional distribution: Suez Canal, Red Sea, Arabian Gulf.
Remarks: The synonymy of Hydroides norvegicus Gunnerus, 1768 is very confused. According
to TEN HOVE (1974), all Indo-Pacific records appear to belong to H. elegans, but to be sure
every record needs to be checked.
Hydroides exaltatus (Marenzeller, 1884)
Eupomatus exaltatus Marenzeller, 1884: 217. Type locality/origin: “Ostküste der Insel Eno-sima” (Japan, W Pacific).
Eupomatus exaltatus. — PIXELL 1913: 77.
Eupomatus exaltatus. — MOHAMMAD 1971: 301.
Hydroides exaltatus. — AMOUREUX et al. 1978: 146.
° Hydroides exaltatus. — FIEGE & SUN 1999: 116.
Regional distribution: Red Sea, Arabian Gulf.
[?] Hydroides exaltatus vesiculosus Fauvel, 1919
Hydroides exaltatus var. vesiculosus Fauvel, 1919 c: 342. Type locality/origin: “Gatavaké” Gambier and Touamatou Islands
(French Polynesia, S Pacific).
Hydroides exaltatus vesiculosus. — AMOUREUX et al. 1978: 146.
Regional distribution: Red Sea.
Remarks: UCHIDA (1978) regarded this taxon as distinct. According to ten Hove (pers.
comm.), however, it belongs to H. albiceps or H. trivesiculosus and the respective specimens need
to be checked. Therefore this taxon is herein regarded as questionable.

Serpula (Hydroides) uncinata. — GRAVIER 1906 b: 110.
