Abstract

The present study is a taxonomic key for epiphytic hydroids from the São Sebastião channel. It aims to help students and non-specialist researchers with the identification of those hydrozoans associated with vegetal substrata. Methods for hydroid preservation and slides preparation are described. Characters that distinguish the 36 species are presented.
