Description

<p>In 1934, Stiasny described cubomedusan specimens from Station 279 of the Discovery Expedition 1925–27 in the Gulf of Guinea, West Africa as Tamoya haplonema. He also presented line drawings of the habitus that raised some doubts on the identification of the species. In the collections of the Natural History Museum of London, the described specimens were still available and in good condition due to their storage in formalin. More specimens could be found in other European museums. The formalin made a genetic analysis impossible but as all anatomical structures were excellently preserved, a direct comparison was possible with the structures in Tamoya haplonema and Tamoya ohboya from the Americas. Due to the morphological comparison with the American Tamoya species it could be confirmed that the African Tamoya specimens are an up-to-now undescribed new Tamoya species, Tamoya anacamori sp. nov., described herein.</p>
