Tamoya haplonema F. Müller, 1859

Remarks: data on the stomach content of southern Brazilian specimens presented by Nogueira Jr. & Haddad (2008).

Individuals from Bonaire belong to the new species Tamoya ohboya (Collins et al. 2011) .

Distribution in South America: medusa—Atlantic Ocean, Brazil to Argentina, from 3ºS to 38ºS (Ranson 1945; Goy 1979; Mianzan & Cornelius 1999; Pastorino 2001; Morandini et al. 2005a; Nogueira Jr. & Haddad 2006, 2008; Silveira & Morandini 2011).

Habitat: medusa—neritic species (Nogueira Jr. & Haddad 2006).
