Remarks: a species of coronate polyp with no link as yet to any medusa species. Several species might be hidden under this name, probably belonging to the genera Atorella or Nausithoe (Morandini & Jarms 2005) .

Distribution in South America: polyp—Atlantic Ocean, Brazil, off Ceará (Kramp 1951).

Habitat: benthic, preferably associated with calcareous substrata (Silveira & Morandini 1996).
