Fraser (1940) failed to designate name-bearing types of Plumularia paucinema, and the species
was not listed as part of the Fraser Hydroid Collection by Arai (1977). No material, type or otherwise, could be
located at the AMNH, CAS, CMN, MCZ, NMNH, RBCM, ROM, SBMNH, or YPM. Based on characters noted in
the original description, the species was assigned to Kirchenpaueria Jickeli, 1883 by Cairns et al. (2002), as K.
paucinema.
The hydroids examined by Fraser (1940b) were collected at Scorpion Harbor, Santa Cruz Island, California, by
Willis G. Hewatt (1904–1980) of Texas Christian University. The species was found in kelp beds on 25 June 1939.
