Abstract
A new hydromedusa belonging to the order Anthoathecata is reported from Sagami Bay, eastern Japan. Tiaricodon orientalis sp. nov. can be distinguished from other Tiaricodon species by the umbrella size of the medusa, manubrium length, interradial peaks in the subumbrella, and a red band on the upper part of the manubrium. A comparative table of the primary diagnostic characters of the genus is provided. Our morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses suggest that Tiaricodon from China is not Tiaricodon coeruleus but Tiaricodon orientalis.
期刊介绍:
Plankton and Benthos Research is a peer-reviewed journal publishing quarterly original papers, reviews and notes dealing with any aspect of the biology and ecology of planktonic and benthic organisms and their interactions with the environment in any aquatic system, and is open to all scientists around the world. Submission of a paper is held to imply that it represents an original contribution not previously published and that it is not being considered elsewhere.
