Egmundella producta n. comb., commonly used so far in the combination Lovenella producta, is re-described based on the type specimens, as well as new material from the NW Atlantic. The gonothecae are large, fan-shaped structures, and the gonophore could be either a medusoid or a medusa. The re-examination of the type material confirmed that it possesses stolonal nematophores and nematothecae. Applying currently used generic diagnoses, it becomes necessary to transfer the species to the genus Egmundella.
