Craspedacusta sowerbii Lankester, 1880

Remarks: this species was recorded from Bahia de Cartagena by Moncaleano & Niño (1976). However, Craspedacusta sowerbyi is a freshwater species (Bouillon et al. 2004), suggesting that the record is likely a misidentification for the area. According to Fleming & Hazelwood (1967), medusae of C. sowerbii do not tolerate salinities above 3 ppt.

Habitat: medusa—found in fresh and estuarine waters (Quezada 1969a p. 32, 1973 p. 227).
