Popis:	Vallentinia gabriellae (Hydrozoa) was collected from shallow water in a mangrove wetland along the eastern shore of the Indian River Lagoon, Florida. Adult (gravid) medusae were collected in September 1990 and October 1990, non-gravid medusa in May 1991, and juvenile and gravid medusae in July 1991. All were observed or collected in the perimeter ditch of a mosquito impoundment (Impoundment 19A) in St. Lucie County, Florida. This impoundment has culverts installec along the perimeter dike that connect impoundment waters with those of the Indian River Lagoon. No specimens were found in other adjoining wetland impoundments or in adjacent lagoon waters. No polyps were found despite intensive field collection efforts. To our knowledge, this represents the first record ofV. gabriellae from the Indian River Lagoon.
