Abstract

Five individuals of the corymorphid jellyfish, Euphysora bigelowi Maas, were collected in 1973 in Monterey Bay, California, for a range extension of more than 8,000 km across the northeastern Pacific Ocean. 2. Larvae released by these medusae were cultured and the resulting polyps, the first known from this medusa genus, are described. 3. The polyps are a Corymorpha, but share some minor characteristics with polyps of the corymorphid genus Euphysa. 4. The polyp and medusa are assigned the name Corymorpha bigelowi (Maas); the systematic implications of this revision are discussed.

摘要

1973年，在加利福尼亚州蒙特雷湾采集到5只盔形水母科的大型优美水母（Euphysora bigelowi Maas），其分布范围跨越东北太平洋超过8000公里。2. 对这些水母释放的幼虫进行了培养，并描述了由此产生的水螅体，这是该水母属首次为人所知的水螅体。3. 这些水螅体属于盔形水母属，但与盔形水母科的真瘤水母属水螅体有一些细微特征相同。4. 将该水螅体和水母命名为大型优美盔形水母（Corymorpha bigelowi （Maas））；讨论了这一分类修订的系统学意义。
