Descriptions(1)
Remarks: the species was first described from the Brazilian coast (Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro state) by Eschscholtz (1829). Some confusion remained in the literature about the correct name to be used (Dactylometra) and the species identification (see Goy 1979; Mianzan 1989 a, 1989 b). Redescription of the species occurred recently (Morandini et al. 2006 a) and the metagenetic life cycle was described (Morandini et al. 2004). Distribution in South America: medusa — Atlantic Ocean, Colombia to Argentina, from 12 ° N to 40 ° S (Ranson 1949; Oliveira 1950; Vannucci 1954, 1957 a; Goy 1979, Mianzan 1989 a, 1989 b; Olagüe et al. 1990; Mianzan & Cornelius 1999; Migotto et al. 2002; Morandini et al. 2004, 2 005 a, 2 005 b, 2006 a; Morandini & Marques 2010; Silveira & Morandini 2011; Nogueira Jr. 2012). Habitat: neritic species, abundant in coastal and estuarine waters (Mianzan & Cornelius 1999).
