Pandea cybeles, a new medusa from the Sargasso Sea (Coelenterata: Anthomedusae: Pandeidae)
A new medusa is described and illustrated. It is compared to related species in the genus, Pandea conica (Quoy & Gaimard, 1827) and Pandea rubra Bigelow, 1913. It differs from those species in the proportions of the umbrella and its conical process, number of ribs on the umbrella, number of marginal tentacles, ocelli on the basal bulb of tentacles, and the large size of the stomach. The diagnostic characteristics of these species and Pandea cybeles are compiled in a table. Information is included on the distribution of the species throughout the world.
Descriptors: Pandea cybeles, PANDEA CONICA; PANDEA RUBRA figs. 1-2, tab. 1. (29.iv.1988).
