Abstract
Although the medusa Dipurena halterata (Forbes, 1846) is well known, and has been figured by a number of authors (e.g. Forbes, 1848; Browne, 1897), the hydroid of this peculiar species has remained unknown. This medusa is rather scarce at Plymouth (Russell, 1938). On May 3 1938 I had the good fortune to find at Plymouth a small hydroid of the Syncoryne type which later liberated young medusae, and these proved to be young specimens of Dipurena halterata.
