FIGURE 2. A. alata neotype (USNM 1195802 unless otherwise specified) from Kralendijk, Bonaire, The Netherlands. A. Mature female medusa (live), whole body (live, BW=40, BH=70). B. Apical portion showing stomach and crescentric gastric phacellae, visible in each corner, and wide central manubrium opening into subumbrella in live medusa. C. Pedalium and tentacle of live medusa. D. Velarial canals (3 per octant) in preserved medusa: each bears a row of 3 nematocyst warts on proximal first half to two thirds (on the velarial lappets) (dashed arrows indicate the main three velarial canals and branc...

D. Velarial canals (3 per octant) in preserved medusa: each bears a row of 3 nematocyst warts on proximal first half to two thirds (on the velarial lappets) (dashed arrows indicate the main three velarial canals and branches extending from the main base of each canal). E. USNM 1195803–1195806, preserved mature medusae from the same locality as the neotype. F. T–shaped rhopalial niche opening with nematocyst warts on upper and lower scale coverings in live medusa.
