New records i.e., geographical positions of 11
scyphomedusae and 1 cubomedusa species are presented in the present review but in all cases corresponded to species previously reported for the study region in spite of the large number of samples examined.
Thus, leatherback turtles travel thousands of kilometers from western Pacific beaches to forage on seasonally abundant jellyfish (
Scyphomedusae) along the West Coast of North America (Eisenberg and Frazier, 1983; Shenker, 1984), where coastal upwelling creates a dynamic and highly productive ecosystem.

Being a report on the
scyphomedusae collected by the U.S.
A total of 27 species of jellyfish were identified: 25 hydromedusae and 2
scyphomedusae. Twelve jellyfish species (11 hydromedusae and 1
scyphomedusae) were recorded for the first time in the Magellan region (Table 1).

This dual set of diffuse, non-polarized conducting systems in
scyphomedusae was noted in behavioral experiments (Eimer, 1874, 1877; Romanes, 1876, 1878; Mayer, 1910; Bozler, 1926a, b), and later demonstrated with electrophy siological recordings by Horridge (1956a, b) and Passano (1965).
Immunohistochemical staining of
scyphomedusae with monoclonal antibodies against [alpha]- or [beta]-tubulin shows a subumbrellar nerve net that has the distribution and neuronal characteristics of the motor nerve net that controls the swim musculature (Giant Fiber Nerve Net, also called the Motor Nerve Net; Horridge, 1956a, b; Schwab and Anderson, 1980; Anderson and Schwab, 1981).

The association with
scyphomedusae and other large gelatinous zooplankton exhibited by juveniles may continue throughout their lives, because such prey are reported to constitute a considerable portion of the prowfish diet (Carollo and Rankin, 1998).
