On the scyphomedusae Nausithoë atlantica Broch and Nausithoë globifera Broch
Broch (1913) described two new species of the coronate scyphomedusa Nausithoë from the North Atlantic, N. atlantica and N. globifera. Bigelow (1928, p. 498) was inclined to think that these two species might finally prove to represent extreme variants of the one species N. rubra Vanhöffen, though a...

| Summary: | Broch (1913) described two new species of the coronate scyphomedusa Nausithoë from the North Atlantic, N. atlantica and N. globifera. Bigelow (1928, p. 498) was inclined to think that these two species might finally prove to represent extreme variants of the one species N. rubra Vanhöffen, though a much larger series of specimens in a better state of preservation would be needed to give a definite decision. Kramp (1947, p. 46) considered that N. globifera at any rate was a good species. |
