The study reviews all medusa genera and species belonging to the families
Bougainvilliidae, Eucodoniidae, Proboscidactylidae, Corymorphidae and Sugiuridae from the
northern South China Sea. A new genus Xu, Guo & Wang, gen. nov. is erected under the family
Sugiuridae, based on the monotype, Monocanna ovale (Mayer, 1900) comb. nov. from
Gastroblasta. Four new species, Nubiella terminaliknoba Xu, Guo & Wang sp. nov.,
Paranubiella shenzhenensis Xu, Huang & Wang, sp. nov., Eucodonium crassonemalis Xu, Guo
& Lin, sp. nov. and Proboscidactyla trifurcata Xu, Huang & Guo, sp. nov., are described and
illustrated here. The species Euphysora knides Huang, 1999 stat. rev. is revised to be a valid
species. The keys to known genera of families Corymorphidae, Sugiuridae and species of genera
Paranubiella, Eucodonium, Proboscidactyla are provided. All type specimens are deposited in
the College of Ocean and Earth Sciences, Xiamen University.
