Synopsis on the knowledge and distribution of the family Bougainvilliidae (Hydrozoa, Hydroidolina)

The family Bougainvilliidae comprises a group of anthoathecate hydrozoans that is biologically, ecologically and biogeographically poorly understood, and consequently, poorly taxonomically organized. Here, our goal is to synthesize knowledge of the family from an historical perspective, and to analy...
