This large scyphomedusa, which may develop a bell diameter of more than 1 m, was fi rst described in 1880 by Haeckel based on four specimens collected near the Dalmatian island Hvar. The paucity of this species records since its description confi rms its rarity, however, in the last 15 years sightings of D. dalmatinum have been more frequent.20142024-08-02 09:07:30Neznano20015UDK: 593.73:591.9(262.3-18)ISSN pri članku: 1408-533XCOBISS_ID: 3305295sl
