Abstract
Many, well-preserved anterior nectophores of Lensia asymmetrica Stepan jants, 1970 (Siphonophorae, Diphyidae) have been found in recent colle ctions from the Southern Ocean. These show that there is not a superfi cial and incomplete reticulation present on their surfaces, as previou s described. In association with this material, many eudoxid bracts, a nd a few posterior nectophores and gonophores have been found, These a re attributed to the same species and descriptions given of all these parts.
