Carmarina hastata by Ernst Haeckel (1864)

Ernst Haeckel's first published illustration of a medusa was a species he called Carmarina hastata. He explained that carmarina meant sea-meat in Niçois, term used by the fisherman of Nice for large jellyfish. The species was later found to have been previously described as Geryonia proboscidalis (Forsskål, 1775). So not really first found in Villefranche BUT Haeckel's first medusa illustration.
