Australomedusa thrombolites sp. nov. is described from Lake Clifton, Yalgorup National Park. It is a small medusa with a bell height (BH) of about 1.5 mm. It differs from its only other congener, A. baylii, primarily in the shape and location of the gonads, and in having only 3-5 tentacles per cluster (verses 5-9). Furthermore, in preserved specimens, the tentacle length is relatively longer, about 75% BH, though this character tends to be highly variable in most medusa species.
