Abstract: | The Indo-Pacific leptomedusa Eirene elliceana (Agassiz and Mayer, 1902) is known to produce blastostyles budded from the gonads of the adult medusa. Three specimens out of 5, taken during the International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE) in the Bay of Bengal, showed medusa buds growing on young gonads whose sex could not be determined. The new findings are illustrated.Contribution No. 320 of the Instituto Oceanográfico da Universidade de São Paulo, S. Paulo, Brazil. |
