This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Raskoff, Kevin A. (2010): Bathykorus bouilloni: a new genus and species of deep-sea jellyfish from the Arctic Ocean (Hydrozoa, Narcomedusae, Aeginidae). Zootaxa 2361: 57-67, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.193628
Abstract
A new genus and species of a common deep-water narcomedusa is described from the Arctic Ocean. The species has four primary tentacles, four secondary tentacles, with three interradial manubrial pouches in each quadrant. A revision and taxonomic key of the family Aeginidae is presented to account for the new genus. Detailed information on its finescale vertical and horizontal distributions show that it occurs in a fairly narrow depth range between 1400–2000 meters. The species was observed 423 times at eleven stations, demonstrating that new species can be common in the underexplored regions of the ocean.
