Diagnosis Laodiceidae medusae with small manubrium, sometimes with small perradial lobes; with four radial canals, simple or with short lateral diverticula; with simple undulated gonads; with or without marginal cirri; with or without adaxial ocelli. Hydroid colony stolonal, hydrotheca sessile, tubular, turning gradually into a pyramidal operculum formed by numerous converging flaps, with visible crease-line basally; hydrotheca often with transversal growth-rings, sometimes with basal constriction at origin, or exceptionally a poorly delimited pedicel; hydranth without intertentacular web, tentacles amphicoronate; gonotheca like hydrotheca but larger.
