SUMMARY
The abundant gonothecae contain large, probably male gonophores. The hydrothecae are deeply campanulate with a variable number of marginal cusps.
In many respects Campanularia nuytsensis matches Campanularia mollis Stechow, 1919 but differs from that species in its smoother pedicel, larger hydrothecae with longer marginal cusps and larger gonothecae. Schuchert (2001) doubted Campanularia groenlandica Levinsen, 1893 from Japan (see Hirohito 1995) is that species. Hirohito's figure and dimensions (extracted from his figure) shows that his material is Campanularia nuytsensis.
