Several adults were observed during SCUBA diving, and two individuals were collected between 2 and 6 m depth. In Porto Santo harbour (33 ° 3 ’ 45 ” N 16 ° 18 ’ 59 ” W), one specimen was collected at the sea surface (0.5 m depth).	en	Gueroun, Sonia Km, Schäfer, Susanne, Gizzi, Francesca, Álvarez, Soledad, Monteiro, João Gama, Andrade, Carlos, Canning-Clode, João (2021): Planktonic Ctenophora of the Madeira Archipelago (Northeastern Atlantic).

03AF302C7138FFBCD4EA179E4B91FD97.taxon	description	Description: Overall, body length of the sampled specimens varied from three to six cm. The biggest specimen, around 10 cm, was observed in situ (West coast of Ilhéu da Cal, 33 ° 00 ’ 13 ” N 16 ° 23 ’ 34 ” W). The body was elongated, narrow with a noticeable compression in the tentacular axis (Fig. 2 A). Two horn-shaped processes terminating in the long flexible filament are drawn out at the aboral apex (Fig. 2 B). Subtentacular ctene rows extend onto these processes. Reddish-brown ink vesicles with bioluminescent properties follow the path of the substomodeal meridional canals (Fig. 2 C).	en	Gueroun, Sonia Km, Schäfer, Susanne, Gizzi, Francesca, Álvarez, Soledad, Monteiro, João Gama, Andrade, Carlos, Canning-Clode, João (2021): Planktonic Ctenophora of the Madeira Archipelago (Northeastern Atlantic).
