Abstract

A new hydromedusa collected in 1963 in the Bay of Bengal during the International Indian Ocean Expedition by the RV “Anton Bruun” is here described as Halistaura bruuni sp. nov. Some environmental data are given. The new species is characterized by a number of open marginal vesicles approximately equal to that of the tentacles, oval gonads on the distal half of the radial canals, and by the presence of nematocyst depots in the tentacle bulbs.
