Hidromedusas mesozooplanctónicas del Océano Pacífico colombiano

Medusozoans from the Mexican Pacific: a review based on historical literature and recent observations

Remarks The two records of G. proboscidalis come from two underwater photographs, so the microscopic details of the morphology were not observed. Nonetheless, in situ, identification is sufficient to confirm its identity since it is a monotypic species (WoRMS Editorial Board 2023).

Medusozoans from the Mexican Pacific: a review based on historical literature and recent observations

Distribution New record for the Gulf of California. In the MP, it has been recorded from Baja California (Bigelow 1909), Colima, Guerrero and Michoacán (Segura-Puertas 1984).

Medusozoans from the Mexican Pacific: a review based on historical literature and recent observations

Material examined 1, medusa, Punta Gorda, Santa Rosalía, Mulegé Municipality, Baja California Sur, 27.536 ° N, 112.355 ° W; 12 March 2015; photograph. – 1, medusa; Bay of Dreams, Baja California Sur, 23.993 ° N, 109.827 ° W; depth 0.5 m, 8 April 2019; photograph. Identification (after Mayer 1910) Umbrella nearly hemisphaerical, with moderately thick walls, and short velum. Peduncle conical and manubrium short. Six orange gonads extend over the subumbrella from near peduncle base to near the umbrellar margin. Six perradial orange tentacles, long and contractile. Interradial tentacles not seen.

Medusozoans from the Mexican Pacific: a review based on historical literature and recent observations

Description of Florida material: Bell almost hemispherical, 10 to 20 mm wide, jelly thick. Stomach small, on a long conical peduncle, peduncle reaching a length of about twice the bell height (Fig. 61 A). Six radial canals, 3 - 7 centripetal canals betwen pairs of radial canals, ending blindly below apex of subumbrella. Gonads along the six primary radial canals, reaching from circular canal to apex of subumbrella, sheet-like, triangular, pointed end towards circular canal. Two types of tentacles. Six long, perradial tentacles with nematocyst rings, and six short interradial tentacles with adaxial nematocyst clusters, often held upwards adnate to subumbrella (Fig. 61 B). 16 S Data: The 16 S sequence (GMW 528644) shows few differences to other published sequences of G. proboscidalis (Table 1). The p-distance to the Mediterranean specimen was 0.17 %, and 0.33 % to the one from Japan. More differences where found with sequence KT 809331 (1.2 %) originating from the Sea of Cortez (Bastian Bentlage, pers. com.).

Remarks: With its six radial canals and the two types of tentacles, Geryonia proboscidalis is rather reliably identifiable. It is interesting to note the low 16 S sequence divergences observed for the sample from Florida, the Mediterranean, and Japan. Geryonia proboscidalis could thus be a good example of a hydromedusan species with a truely circumglobal distribution.

Hydromedusae observed during night dives in the Gulf Stream

Distribution: Occurs in tropical and subtropical parts of all three oceans, including also the Mediterranean, approximately between 35 ° and 35 ° S (Kramp, 1957, 1965). Type locality: Mediterranean Sea (Forsskål, 1775).

Hydromedusae observed during night dives in the Gulf Stream

Examined material: BFLA 4029; 1 specimen; 04 - MAR- 2019; diameter 10 mm; part preserved in formalin (UF- 013448) and part in alcohol for DNA extraction; 16 S sequence MW 528644. – 26 - MAR- 2019; 1 specimen photographed, diameter 20 mm, not collected. Mediterranean, France, Bay of Villefranche-sur- Mer, 43.6963 ° N 7.3075 ° E; 25 - APR- 2016; diameter 70 mm, photos see DOI: 10.5281 / zenodo. 53890; whole specimen used for DNA extraction, 16 S sequence KX 355451.

Hydromedusae observed during night dives in the Gulf Stream

Remarks: the distribution range provided by Ramírez & Zamponi (1981) is not based on specific records and, therefore, we did not consider that information for this species. Distribution in South America: medusa — Pacific Ocean, Colombia to Chile, from 6.45 ° N to 1.57 ° N, from 3.5 ° S to 18.50 ° S, and at northwest of Galápagos Archipelago (Fagetti 1973 p. 43; Segura-Puertas 1984; Cely & Chiquillo 1993); Atlantic Ocean, Brazil to Uruguay, from 0 ° (Equator) to 3.8 ° S, from 29 ° S to 35 ° S (Vannucci 1951 a, 1957 a; Navas-Pereira 1974, 1981; Goy 1979; Correia 1983; Migotto et al. 2002). Habitat: medusa — eurythermic and probably euryhaline species, present in tropical and subtropical waters (Correia 1983; Segura-Puertas 1984).
