Diagnosis Hydroids colonial, arising from creeping stolons; hydrocauli covered by perisarc, not or only rarely sparingly branched, stems monosiphonic. Perisarc extends onto hydranth body as a more or less gelatinous pseudohydrotheca which does not envelop the tentacles. Hydranths with a conical hypostome and one whorl of filiform tentacles. Gonophores develop on cauli or stolons, enclosed in thin perisarc membrane. Gonophores liberated as free medusae.
Medusa mostly with an apical projection of variable size. Manubrium voluminous, connected to radial canals by mesenteries. Mouth with extensively folded margin. Gonads on interradial walls of manubrium, each quadrant with two adradial longitudinal rows of transverse folds, folds directed towards interradial, interradial region depressed, often with gonadal pits. Radial canal very broad, often jagged. With many tentacles arising from elongated bulbs, laterally compressed, without rudimentary tentacles or marginal warts. Mostly without ocelli.

Taxonomic remark The genus Tiarissa Haeckel, 1879 is in principle a senior synonym of Neoturris and thus the valid name. However, the taxon Tiarissa has not been used for more than 100 years and in the interest of nomenclatural stability the very frequently used name Neoturris is preferred. [details]
