Type data

Note Medusa proboscidalis Forsskål, 1775 is given...

From editor or global species database

Type species Medusa proboscidalis Forsskål, 1775 is given as type species in Mayer (1910: 424), but which is incorrect as this nominal species was not part of the original names included in Geryonia by Péron & Lesueur. Geryonia hexaphylla Péron & Lesueur, 1810, a synonym of Medusa proboscidalis Forsskål, 1775, must be used instead. [details]
