This pretty medusa, of which 
6 specimens are to hand from deep water, belongs undoubtedly to 
the genus Aglantha. It reminds one of Maas's ""Melicertum” pro- 
boscifer (Maas 1897). It differs from this tropical Pacific species, 
in that it lacks a well developed stomachal peduncle, that there 
are only 4 lips, and that the gonads are fastened closely by the 
manubrium (see fig. 2). In the Pacific species the gonads arise 
from the middle of the radial canals. 
It is certain that the two forms are closely related and I have 
no doubt, that both of them have to be referred to the genus 
Aglantha.
