Abstract

A new species of the genus Rosacea (Siphonophora: Calycophorae: Prayidae) is described from the Gulf of Oman, where its eudoxid stage was found in abundance. It is distinguished from other Rosacea species by the course of the lateral radial canals on the nectosac of the nectophore, and the shape of the eudoxid bract and the arrangement of its bracteal canals.
