A, F: mature medusae, scale in A: 2 mm. B, G: removed stomach regions with subgastral sacs and manubrium. C: one stomach region half, pockets laid open. D: dorsal view into the stomach, stomach roof was removed, gastric filaments hiding partly spermatophores inside subgastral sacs which flank the filament bundles. E: stacked rows of gastric filaments which partly hide the spermatophores stored in the pockets on the left and right side of the phacella. H: backside of subgastral sacs divided by a mesentery. I: stomach pocket opening covered by gastric filaments. J: gastric filaments were lifted to allow a view on the opening of the stomach purse which is divided at the stomach edge into a left and a right pocket. gf, gastric filament; m, manubrium; mes, mesentery; p, stomach pocket; sgs, subgastral sacs; sp, spermatophore.
