Abstract
THE stauromedusan genus Craterolophus, although bipolar, has appeared nevertheless to have a curiously restricted distribution1. The type species, C. tethys Clark 1863 2, seems never to have been recognized outside the type locality Heligoland, though frequently reported in that region. The southern form, C. macrocystis von Lendenfeld3, the specific status of which is in some doubt1, occurs only on the New Zealand coast. Recent observations indicate that the northern form at least is more widespread than has been supposed.
