Topic: New stalked jellyfish species

Could Haliclystus octoradiatus (Lamarck, 1816) (http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php? … ;id=135323) be added?  It was (re-)split from H. auricula around 17 years ago and is now relatively widespread, particularly in the southwest

Re: New stalked jellyfish species

Hi Richard

David Fenwick has been in touch and asked for the very same addition. This has now been added and I have created a "s.str." version of auricula to allow for pre & post split records. :)
