Diagnosis Medusae with slightly lobed umbrella margin, four perradial tentacles that have their origin slightly displaced away from the bell margin, without exumbrellar nematocyst bands but instead interradial ciliary fields near umbrella margin. Manubrium with cruciform base, mouth simple. Nematocysts of tentacles concentrated in tip in one terminal cluster immediately followed proximally by a second adaxial cluster, the two clusters usually fused in older animals. Radial canal replaced by solid strand of gastrodermis. Cnidome includes macrobasic euryteles, no desmonemes. Gonads four large, interradial pads on manubrium. [details]
