Lobatolampea tetragona Horita, 2000 (Ctenophora) was found recently in various localities in Japan after previous record made in 2008, extending both northwards (Odaiba, Tokyo Bay) and southwards (Ishigaki Island, Okinawa Prefecture). All these observation records of this species, particularly of the largest individual in each locality, up to ca 50 mm in width, is summarized. Geographic distribution is mapped for this endemic species

Twelve distributional patterns of fluorescent body parts, including complete non-fluorescence, were found in diverse taxonomic groups of small hydromedusae (≤21 mm in umbrellar diameter) collected in 2008-2010 in Tanabe Bay and a freshwater pond in Tanabe city, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, and in Suma harbor, Kobe city, Hyogo Prefecture. Only three of the green fluorescence patterns have been described until now. Particular fluorescence patterns may have originated convergently more than once within this taxonomic group. In Liriope tetraphylla the distribution of fluorescence changes during development, and the eggs of Clytia languida also display fluorescence.

We reported here several sting cases by tentacles of Tamoya haplonema (Cnidaria, Cubozoa) collected in the Inland Sea of Japan in these four years (2009-2012). All cases experienced by us were not severe and swollen portions cured within a week because of hands were stung.

Many mature medusan individuals of Moerisia horii (Uchida and Uchida 1929) were collected from Oarai, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan in November, 2012. Their morphology including nematocysts and GFP pattern were examined in large medusae among them. They are much different in every trait from the largest medusa so far been recorded from Enoshima, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, and considered as a giant medusa grown up in the sea like a migratory salmon.
