Abstract
A new stauromedusa, Kyopoda lamberti gen. nov., sp. nov., is described from British Colubmia [Canada] and California [USA]. Unlike all other known Stauromedusae, which have their stomach and gonads in the calyx, this small vermiform species has these structures in a sac-like swelling at the base of the stalk. Because of this characteristic it is placed in a new family, the K. Its systematic position within the Eleutherocarpida is unknown.
