“…1d, g). The PNG pneumatophore is also two to three times larger than the maximum diameter noted for A. jagoa (Hissmann et al 1995), and in this respect, resembles the larger pneumatophores described by Lens & van Riemsdijk (1908) and Bigelow (1913) for A. typica. Unfortunately, the colouration of A. typica was never described (Lens & van Riemsdijk 1908), thus precluding subsequent comparisons.…”

“…The latter genus was introduced by Lens & van Riemsdijk (1908) for three specimens of A. typica collected during the Dutch Siboga Expedition to Indonesia 1899-1900. A fourth specimen was found in the East China Sea off SW Japan during the 1906 Albatross Expedition (Bigelow 1913). Almost a century later a second species A. jagoa was introduced for specimens from the Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea and the Comores Islands in the western Indian Ocean (Hissmann et al 1995;Hissmann 2005).…”

Benthic siphonophores of the family Rhodaliidae (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) are extremely fragile, difficult to collect, and therefore little studied. Only a few records exist worldwide, so their ecology remains largely unknown. Rhodaliids have been found at most depth horizons, but until now were believed to mainly inhabit deeper water over continental shelves, with only a few records from ca. 100 m. In this paper, a new rhodaliid is described based on an underwater photograph provided by a recreational diver via Facebook. This observation was made in Milne Bay (Papua New Guinea) at a depth of 26-27 m, and constitutes the shallowest record so far for any rhodaliid. The specimen was tentatively identified as Archangelopsis typica based on observable morphological characters and an approximate estimate of connectivity between all rhodaliid species in the Indo-Pacific region. Additionally, we highlight the scientific potential of citizen science.

Three species of oceanic hydromedusae, Sminthea eurygaster, Crossota alba, and Cytaeis tetrastyla, are described and illustrated based on the specimens collected in the Pacific Ocean, off central Honshu, Japan. Sminthea eurygaster is the first record in Japan. One out of the three specimens of Cytaeis tetrastyla bears both the polypoid and the medusa buds. This is the second record of such an asexual reproduction of the species and the first record in the Pacific Ocean.
