Note

A new stauromedusa, Kyopoda lamberti gen.nov., sp.nov., is described from British Columbia and California. Unlike all other known Stauromedusae, which have their stomach and gonads in the calyx, this small vermiform species has these structures in a sac-like swelling at the base of the stalk. Because of this characteristic it is placed in a new family, the Kyopodiidae. Its systematic position within the Eleutherocarpida is unknown.
