摘要

This study reviews all South China Sea species belonging to the families Rathkeidae and Zancleopsidae. Morphological characters of Lizzia blondina Forbes, 1848 (formerly recorded as Podocoryne/Hydractinia minuta), L. gracilis (Mayer, 1900), L. octostyla (Haeckel, 1879) and Podocorynoides minima (Trinci, 1903) (formerly recorded as Podocoryne/ Hydractinia minima) are redescribed. One new species, Zancleopsis oblongus Xu, Huang & Wang, sp. nov. from South China Sea, is described and illustrated. The keys to all medusa genera of Rathkeidae and Zancleopsidae and to all species of Zancleopsis are presented. The type specimen is deposited in the Third Institute of Oceanography, State Oceanic Administration, China.
