- Abstract
The family Eucodoniidae currently comprises five species in a single genus Eucodonium. Only one described species Eucodonium brownei has been reported in Japanese waters. We made detailed observations of the morphology of one of the species newly recorded in Japan: Eucodonium crassonemalis. This species possesses the following unique morphological characters: one to four medusa buds produced on stomach, marginal bulbs two, containing blackish or deep purple pigment granules, without apparent ocelli, tentacles two, with 10-20 yellow ring cnidocysts.
