TLDR
The name Hydra attenuata Pallas is currently applied to the wrong animal, and the pale hydra should be recognized by the current, generally accepted binominal H. circumcincta Schulze.About:

Nemertean genera and species of the world: an annotated checklist of original names and description citations, synonyms, current taxonomic status, habitats and recorded zoogeographic distribution
TL;DR: Names used for nemertean genera and species of the world are listed alpha-betically, with their original description citations, synonymy and current taxonomic status.

Review: How was metazoan threshold crossed? The hypothetical Urmetazoa.
TL;DR: It is concluded that molecular biological studies with sponges as models will not only help to understand the evolution of metazoan evolution but also the complex, hierarchical regulatory network of cells in higher Metazoa.

Molecular phylogenetics in Hydra, a classical model in evolutionary developmental biology
TL;DR: Analyses of both nuclear and mitochondrial sequences support the view that Hydra oligactis and Hydra circumcincta are sisters to all other Hydra species, and it is found that in contrast to its initial description, the strain used for making transgenic Hydra, Hydra vulgaris is more closely related to Hydra carnea than to other species of Hydra.

Hydra, a model system for environmental studies.
TL;DR: Hydra have been found to be among the most sensitive animals tested for metals and certain effluents, comparing favourably with more standardised toxicity tests, and are regarded as a model organism in aquatic toxicology.
