Stauridiosarsia producta (Wright, 1858)
Description Stauridiosarsia producta (Wright, 1858) (Anthomedusae, Corynidae) from Norway (Raunefjord), size about 5 mm. This medusa resembles very closely Coryne eximia, but can immediately be distinguished from the latter by the conspicuous apical chamber above the manubrium (conical shape). The polyps of the two species are quite different.
