抄録

The benthic ctenophore Vallicula multiformis Rankin, 1956 (Ctenophora, Platyctenida) was originally described from Jamaica. We found the species in an aquarium during our survey of jellyfish from Palawan Island, the Philippines. Molecular analysis of the species confirmed the morphology-based identification of the samples. This discovery is the first report of the occurrence of species from the western Pacific area.
