Diagnosis: Limnomedusae with long gastric peduncle; stomach small, with 4 lips; 4 radial canals, with additional centripetal canals; 4 gonads on radial canals, flattened and leaf-shaped; two kinds of marginal tentacles, solid and hollow; ecto-endodermal statocysts enclosed in mesoglea. No polyp stage, direct developement.

Remarks: Rarely, aberrant animals with more than four radial canals and gonads can occur, but the number of oral lips remains rather constantly four ( Bouillon et al., 2006).
