Extract

In 1902 Ernst Vanhöffen drew attention to the occurrence of eight dark pigment spots in Atolla which he thought might be excretory organs.

It is shown that these spots are a specific character occurring only in some specimens, and medusae with this character have been named Atolla vanhöffeni n.sp. This species can now be distinguished from A. wyvillei by other characters.
