Extract

Maas (1903) described two specimens of a deep-water coronate scyphomedusa collected on the Siboga Expedition in the Malay Archipelago. He erected for these a new genus Paraphyllina and called the species P. intermedia. It differed from Periphylla in that the rhopalia were perradial and not interradial. In 1903, Lo Bianco figured a specimen taken in the Mediterranean near Capri which was identified for him by Maas as P. dodecdbostrycha (see also Maas, 1904, p. 48, footnote); Mayer (1910) saw this specimen and re-described and figured it as Paraphyllina intermedia. A fourth specimen ascribed to this species by Ranson (1936) was found washed up on the shore at Villefranche.
