Genus Abylopsis

Chun, 1888

Seven-faceted anterior nectophore, but without an apical facet, and pentagonal dorsal and ventral facets. Hydroecium only partially interposed between somatocyst and nectosac. Somatocyst with apical diverticulum. Posterior nectophore with 5 ridges and a short curved apical apophysis. The left lateral ridge bifurcates close to the apex. Flaps on both wings of hydroecium. Bracts with 7 facets. Phyllocyst with swollen apico-lateral branches and apical diverticulum, while distally it is a narrow tube. The anterior nectophores of the two species are very similar in design.
