Material examined: 1 specimen; Scotland, Firth of Lorn, Dunstaffnage Bay, 56.455°N 05.434°E, 0 m depth, temperature 8-10°C; collection date 11.05.2004; DNA 1133 View Materials ; 16S sequence KY363939 View Materials GoogleMaps , COI MF000501 View Materials ; archived document see Table 1. ‒> 2 specimens; Norway, Fanafjord , 60.24079°N 05.22941°W, 0 m depth; collection date 23.04.2015 GoogleMaps ; DNA isolate 1115; 16S sequence KY363949 View Materials , COI MF000508 View Materials , 18S KY363979 View Materials ; archived document see Table 1.

Diagnosis: Umbrella diameter 9-30 mm, mostly around 10-12 mm, umbrella usually hemispherical or slightly higher, apical jelly thickened, no gastric peduncle. Top of subumbrella sometimes rather flat. Velum width about 1/4 of bell radius. Manubrium short, small, cruciform cross-section, base not much larger than oral end, mouth simple, four perradial, slightly recurved lips. Radial canals 4, relatively thick close to manubrium. Gonads elongate in females, covering 2/3 of radial canals, separated from circular canal and manubrium, when fully developed pendant and usually in zig-zag (Fig. 13D). Marginal tentacles typically 28-36 (reportedly up to 64) when mature, with basal bulbs, some bulbs without tentacles, 5-9 cirri between adjacent tentacles, coiling spirally. 16 large statocysts, each with numerous concretions aligned in two curved rows. When irritated, the medusa emits a greenish light.

Polyp stage tiny, of “ Cuspidella ” type, see Cornelius (1995).

Distribution: Northern boreal species, known from North Atlantic and NE Pacific. Type locality: Cromarty Frith, Scotland.
