Quoy and Gaimard, 1827
Anterior nectophores with 10 or 11 facets. The apical facet is divided by a transverse ridge, and many ridges are serrated, particularly basally. Dorsal nectosac and median hydroecium are long tubes extending almost to apex of nectophore. The large oval somatocyst lies ventrally. Posterior nectophore with long, tapering apical apophysis, has only 4 ridges. The ventral ridges define the hydroecial wings and are heavily serrated basally. The left hydroecial wing bears a toothed comb or flap. Five, usually serrated, ostial teeth. Prismatic bracts with 6 facets, the dorsal one being rectangular. Very large phyllocyst, with 2 canals running down toward the ventro-lateral corners of the apical facet. The bracts (Abyla sp.) cannot, at present, be identified specifically.
