Description
Summary:Leuckartiara acuta sp. nov., family Pandeidae (Anthoathecatae, Hydrozoa) has been collected during surveys of epipelagic salmon habitat in the northern Subtropical Region and the Transitional Domain of the Subarctic Region of the North Pacific. It is characterized by a tall, pointed, narrow, apical projection, four perradial tentacles and two or three tentaculae in each quadrant. Reexamination of specimens recorded from the Subtropical Region of the central North Pacific by Kramp (1965) as L. gardineri shows that these specimens also belong to the new species.
