Searching GenBank for sequences similar to the obtained 16S sequences indicated a relationship to other leptomedusae, but gave no matches with more than 92% sequence identity. A maximum likelihood analysis of a wide selection of leptomedusae did not identify relationships with sufficient bootstrap support (results not shown). The two haplotypes differed in 0.8% of their base pairs.

in diameter when mature, bell flatter than hemisphere, apical jelly about half the height of the bell, lateral wall thin. Manubrium large, tubular, base an eight-rayed star, mouth with eight perradial lips. Eight radial canals, rarely 7, 9, or 10. Gonads spindle-shaped, along distal 1/5 to 1/2 of radial canals, not reaching to junction with circular canal. 80-120 tentacles and as many bulbs, bulbs distinctly separated from tentacles, only few small bulbs without tentacles present. Excretory papillae tubular, large, in life reaching the same length as the bulbs. One or two statocysts between tentacle pairs, statocysts with two concretions. Colours: colourless or greenish circular canal, without black pigment in manubrium and bulbs.
