Diagnosis Medusa with a distinct gastric peduncle; lateral cirri (difficult to observe and often destroyed after fixation); marginal swellings or warts; mouth with simple lips; 4 simple radial canals; gonads on radial canals, either beneath subumbrella or on gastric peduncle or on both; with 8 (exceptionally 12) statocysts.Hydroid either single hydranths, or erect colony arising from creeping stolons, or epizootic naked polyps; in non epizootic forms, hydrocaulus with smooth perisarc, young colonies with cylindrical hydrotheca with diaphragm and a folded pleated operculum formed by convergent flaps not demarcated from the hydrothecal rim (Campanulina type), in older colonies of this type, operculum generally lost and hydrotheca reduced to a perisarcal collar of haleciid type. Tentacle base usually with intertentacular web.
