Summary description from Wikipedia:

Muggiaea

Muggiaea is a genus of siphonophores in the family Diphyidae. Members of this family are colonial siphonophores with two nectophores (swimming bells) arranged one behind the other, but in the genus Muggiaea, the posterior nectophore is absent. The anterior one has a complete dorsal ridge. The somatocyst (extension of the gastrovascular system) is very close to the nectosac (central cavity with muscular walls) wall.
