A new species of calycophoran siphonophore, Tottonophyes enigmatica gen. nov, sp. nov., is described. It has a unique
combination of traits, some shared with prayomorphs (including two rounded nectophores) and some with clausophyid
diphyomorphs (the nectophores are dissimilar, with one slightly larger and slightly to the anterior of the other, and both
possess a somatocyst). Molecular phylogenetic analyses indicate that the new species is the sister group to all other diphyomorphs. A new family, Tottonophyidae, is established for it. Its phylogenetic position and distinct morphology help clarify diphyomorph evolution. The function and homology of the nectophoral canals and somatocyst is also re-examined and
further clarification is given to their nomenclature.
