Abstract

Two previously unknown species of hydromedusae, i.e. Bougainvillia leizhouensis Xu, Guo & Wang, sp. nov. and Octocannoides tetranema Xu, Guo & Wang, sp. nov. were found in plankton samples collected during oceanographic cruises along the Leizhou Bay of the northern South China Sea. All new species are described and illustrated here. Identification keys to the known species of genera Bougainvillia and Octocannoides, and the genera of family Octocannoididae are provided, respectively. In addition, the genus name Pedunculus Xu, Huang & Guo, 2019 is preoccupied, and Stylogastria Xu, Huang & Guo, nom. nov. is proposed to replace it. All type specimens are deposited in the College of Ocean and Earth Sciences, Xiamen University.
