FIGURE 10. Apolemia lanosa sp. nov. Nematocyst complement of the holotype. (A) Nematocyst patch of macroisorhizas on the upper surface of a nectophore. Refractile elements on nectophores and bracts were cellular as indicated by the presence of nuclei. (B) Stenoteles at the distal end of a gastrozooid. (C) Microbasic mastigophores at the distal end of a gastrozooid. (D) Ovoid capsules of the gastrozooidal tentacle. (E) Stenoteles and microbasic mastigophores at the distal ends of palpons. (F) Ovoid capsules of a palpacle, apparently identical to those on the gastrozooid tentacles. (G) Stenoteles at the distal end of a nectophoral palpon. (H) Microisorhizas at the distal tip of a nectophoral palpon. Scale bar 25µm. (I) Discharged capsule from a palpacle. Arrow indicates a single dilation on the tubule. (J) Discharged microbasic mastigophores. Scale in I, J is 50 µm. Scale bar in A (50 µm) applies to A–G.
