Medusa, with four or eight radial canals, a low peduncle, and distinct interradial or interradial and perradial pockets in the jelly above the base of the manubrium; red band on the manubrium, gonads extending out from the manubrium as lobes below the upper portions of the radial canals, but without mesenteries; mouth with lips lined by a row of sessile nematocyst clusters; four perradial hollow tentacles, or four perradial tentacles and four interradial single tentacles, or groups of hollow tentacles; cylindrical marginal bulbs, each with an abaxial ocellus (modified after Toshino et al., 2022). [details]
