A new species of Physophora (Siphonophora: Physonectae: Physophoridae) from the North Atlantic, with comments on related species

A new species of Physophora, belonging to the physonect family of siphonophores Physophoridae is described. It can easily be distinguished from the only other recognised species in that family, P. hydrostatica, by the presence of two types of bracts. The arrangement of the palpons and bracts throws...
