| Summary: | Nausithoe challengeri (Haeckel, 1880) (Fig. 5) Nauphanta challengeri Haeckel, 1880: 487. Haeckel, 1882: 103–111, pls. XXVI–XXVII. Nausithoe challengeri —Vanĥffen, 1902: 28. Holotype NHM 1882.10.9.1. Material examined: NMNH 58264 (one specimen from the Mid North Atlantic Ocean, 1978, depth: 0–100 m); NHM 1882.10.9.1 (holotype). Diagnosis: medusa—isodome bell and no mouth lips and manubrium. Description: Based on original description, Bigelow (1928), Mayer (1910), and Kramp (1961). Adult medusa 12 mm in diameter; deep annular furrow marking the transition from pedalia to central disc; somewhat less in diameter than bell-radius; thin and long tentacles (longer than bell-radius); large bean-shaped gonads; one cluster of gastric filaments per quadrant, each one with about 24 filaments (96 total). No information about polyp stage. Type locality: Tristan da Cunha Island, central South Atlantic (32°24’S 13°5’W, 2,600m depth) Distribution: Only known from type locality, and a new record here (mid North Atlantic). ... : Published as part of Molinari, Clarissa G., Collins, Allen G. & Morandini, André C., 2023, A morphological review of the jellyfish genus Nausithoe Kölliker, 1853 (Nausithoideae, Coronatae, Scyphozoa, Cnidaria), pp. 1-32 in Zootaxa 5336 (1) on pages 8-9, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5336.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/8268440 ... |
