Phyllodesmium sp. A is characterised by regular groups of branches of the digestive glands in the cerata - like Phyllodesmium poindimiei, but it differs by the opaque white patching scattered over the transparent body. So this seems to be an undescribed species of the genus Phyllodesmium. I call it Phyllodesmium sp. A, to distinguish it from other undescribed Phyllodesmium sp.
