FIGURE 3. Alatina alata from Kralendijk, Bonaire, The Netherlands (same location as neotype). A. & B. USNM 1195807, velarial canals (3 per octant) in preserved medusa, simple to branching (one outlined with dotted line in Fig 3A). Each canal bears a row of 3 nematocyst warts on the proximal first half to two thirds, i.e., on the velarial lappets. A clump of disassociated eggs is seen within the velarial canal on the left. C. USNM 1195802 (neotype), velarium of live medusa, partially pushed out revealing velarial canals. D. USNM 1195806, double layered frenulum anchoring the subumbrella to... Mehr ...

USNM 1195802 (neotype), velarium of live medusa, partially pushed out revealing velarial canals. D. USNM 1195806, double layered frenulum anchoring the subumbrella to velarium at perradius. E. USNM 1195807, nematocyst wart on velarial lappet filled with isorhiza nematocysts. F. USNM 1195804, rhopalium dissected from preserved medusa, bears two median complex eyes, two upper lateral pit eyes, and two lower lateral slit eyes. G. USNM 1195806, subumbrella view of rhopalial window of preserved medusa, outline of rhopalial niche opening visible. Live photographs by T. Peters (Fish Eye Photography, Bonaire) & A. Yanagihara.
