Genus Paranubiella Xu, Huang & Lin, 2018 View in CoL

Paranubiella Xu, Huang & Lin, 2018 View in CoL in Guo et al., 2018: 99–100.

Type species: Paranubiella atentaculata (Xu & Huang, 2004) .

Diagnosis. The genus can be recognized by following: medusae mouth simple, circular, with simple unbranched oral tentacles rising well above mouth rim and terminal slightly swollen with concentration of cnidocysts; umbrella with 4 marginal bulbs, each without tentacle; gonads on manubrium, either forming a continuous ring or in interradial or perradial position.

Remarks. The genus Paranubiella was erected based on Nubiella atentaculata Xu & Huang, 2004 by having 4 marginal bulbs without single tentacle ( Guo et al., 2018). The same structure is also found in other species from the northern South China Sea.

So far, the genus Paranubiella comprises three species: P. atentaculata (Xu & Huang, 2004) , P. nanhaiensis Xu, Huang & Guo, 2018 and P. shenzhenensis Xu, Guo & Wang , sp. nov.
