03B47B1AFF90CF5899BEFCEFECEAF839.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The b-rhabdoids (3) 1 from tentacles are distinct from those observed in dendrophylliids with respect to their longer shaft and flattened ends of the capsule. The shaft length of p-rhabdoids D (from the base of the shaft to the end of the two tips of the v-notch) of tentacles continuously varied from 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the undischarged capsule length, thus for convenience we considered them as p-rhabdoids D (1 – 2). Holotrichs I and p-rhabdoids D (2) from mesenterial filaments showed the wider range of length in comparison to other species examined, and were not distinguishable in two size classes. A variety of b-rhabdoid similar to b-rhabdoid (1) was observed in mesenterial filaments (b-rhabdoid 2: fig. 1 K). capsules measured; F = frequency (+++ = very common, ++ = common, + = uncommon, – = rare).

03B47B1AFF97CF5999BEFB27ECE1F9A6.taxon	discussion	Remarks. In tentacles and mesenterial filaments we observed a variety of b-rhabdoid (b-rhabdoid 1: fig. 3 E, L) with an oval capsule, a shaft that occupied half of the total length of an undischarged capsule, and a densely coiled tubule. In addition to the typical p-rhabdoid D (2) (fig. 3 M), we noted another two forms in the mesenterial filaments (fig. 3 N, O). As discrete distinction was not possible, we opted to characterize them as p-rhabdoids D (2), having capsules varied from oval to cylindrical shapes (fig. 4). Some of these cnidocysts probably exhibit more elongated spines in the tubule than those from typical p-rhabdoids D (2), since the diameter of their shafts is clearly larger. In tentacles, we noticed the typical p-rhabdoids D (1 – 2) (fig. 3 F) and few capsules of the oval form, therefore separately considered in our description.	en	Picciani, Natasha, Pires, Débora O., Silva, Hélio R.
