Publication
Sicyonis heliodiscus sp.n. and Hormathia pacifica sp.n. are described from the Taney Seamounts, NE Pacific. The species belonging to these two genera are known mainly from N Atlantic and Antarctic locations, and only a few species were recorded from the Pacific. Sicyonis heliodiscus sp.n. is a large species which has unusual exterior with short column hidden in live specimens under the wide oral disk and short marginal tentacles directed downward. It is a rare species, which have been observed only a few occasions during more than 25 years of research by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. In contrast, Hormathia pacifica sp.n. is common at the Taney Seamounts. It has a common appearance for the genus and can be distinguished from other Hormathia species by a combination of features including the morphology of the body and cnidom.
