FIGURE 17. Apolemia rubriversa sp. nov. Nematocyst complement of the holotype. (A) Nematocyst patch on the upper bract surface. Patches on nectophores were of identical composition. Stenoteles were interspersed between spherical macroisorhizas. (B) Stenoteles from the hypostome of the gastrozooid. (C) Stenotele to the left and an unidentified capsule in the hypostomal region of the gastrozooid. (D) Ovoid capsules on the proximal part of the gastrozooidal tentacle. (E) Tip of the palpon with the unidentified capsules also seen in the hypostomal regions of gastrozooids (F) Ovoid capsules on palpacle. (G) Tip of the nectosomal palpon with stenoteles and spherical microisorhizas in very high densities. (H) Close-up of microisorhizas from the tip of the nectosomal palpons with the coiled tubule visible inside. Scale in (A) applies to (A–G) and is 50 µm. Scale in (H) is 25 µm.
