The hydromedusa Geomackiea zephyrolata gen. nov., sp. nov. is described and illustrated. It has been placed in the subfamily Protarinae of the family Pandeidae on the basis of its stomach and gonad morphology and the four large perradial tentacles with conical basal bulbs. A new genus nas been erected because the measure is supplied with four broad interradial bulbs, each rimmed by up to eight closely placed solid tentaculae. A total of 29 specimens with bell heights of 0.9-3.5 mm have been collected in the plankton of Saanich Inlet, British Columbia, and Friday Harbor, Washington, between 1978 and 1981. Juvenile as well as adult specimens are described and the enidome, gametes, seasonal and vertical distributions, and taxonomic affinities within the family Pandeidae are discussed.figs. 1-2, tab. 1.
