Mesoglea rather thin, comparatively thickened at margin, accommodating a belt of chordal cells on which the tentacles insert. Over 300 tentacles, inserted at 3–5 superimposed levels, apparently not forming distinct rows or clusters; solid, core composed of a single row of chordal cells; proximally constricted, leaving tear drop-shaped scars when shed; blunt-ended to pointed distally, and there devoid of adhesive pads; nematocysts evenly dispersed in epidermis, except for the distal tip, where they are comparatively crowded. Manubrium cross-shaped (four perradial lobes are distinguishable), except ... : Published as part of Horia R. Galea, Cornelia Roder, Christoph Walcher, Marco Warmuth, Eberhard Kohlberg & Philipp F.
