FIGURE 3. Crossota millsae, sp. nov. a) Two of the juvenile paratype specimens representing different stages of early development, scale bar = 2.5 mm. b) Two of the juvenile paratype specimens representing later stages of development, same scale bar as in Fig 3a. c) Abscission zone at base of tentacles. ABS = abscission point, RC = ring canal, YIP = yellow iridescent pigment. d) Scanning electron micrograph of spermatids from testes of the male specimen shown in Fig. 1b. Three size classes of spermatids are noted, A ~10 µm, B ~5 µm and C ~2 µm. The smallest spermatids have developing flagella. Scale bar = 10 µm.Published as part of Thuesen, Erik V., 2003, Crossota millsae (Cnidaria: Trachymedusae: Rhopalonematidae), a new species of viviparous hydromedusa from the deep sea off California and Hawaii, pp. 1-12 in Zootaxa 309 on page 6, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15654
