Craterolophidae
Craterolophus is a genus of jellyfish. It is the only genus in the monotypic family Craterolophidae. Species of this genus are characterized by the absence of primary tentacle In zoology, a tentacle is a flexible, mobile, and elongated organ present in some species of animals, most of them invertebrates. In animal anatomy, tentacles usually occur in one or more pairs. Anatomically, the tentacles of animals work main ...s as well as the absence of longitudinal muscles running along the peduncle.

Calvadosia Corbini
''Calvadosia corbini'' is a stalked jellyfish species in the family Kishinouyeidae from the tropical western Atlantic. The species is named after Peter Corbin, a marine biologist noted for his extensive work on Atlantic Stauromedusae Stauromedusae are the stalked jellyfishes. They are the sole living members of the class Staurozoa and belong to the medusozoa subphylum of Cnidaria. They are unique among medusa jellyfish in that they do not have an alternation of polyp and med ....

Kishinouyeidae
''Calvadosia'' is a genus of stalked jellyfish in the order Stauromedusae. It is the only genus in the monotypic family Kishinouyeidae. Taxonomy and systematics The family name is a tribute to Japanese cnidariologist Kamakichi Kishinouye. Mayer used the synonym ''Kishinouyea'' as a replacement name of ''Schizodiscus'', for homonymy, as the name was already used to describe a lichen genus. ''Kishinouyea'' was also used by Yoshio Ôuchi to describe a praying mantis genus that he quickly renamed ''Kishinouyeum'' in 1938, and that could be a junior synonym for ''Phyllothelys''. Species The following species are recognized in the genus ''Calvadosia'': * ''Calvadosia campanulata'' (Lamouroux, 1815) * ''Calvadosia capensis'' (Carlgren, 1938) * ''Calvadosia corbini'' (Larson, 1980) * ''Calvadosia cruciformis'' (Okubo, 1917) * ''Calvadosia cruxmelitensis'' (Corbin, 1978) * ''Calvadosia hawaiiensis'' (Edmondson, 1930) * ''Calvadosia lewisi'' Miranda, Branch, Collins, Hirano, Marques & G ...

Suborder
Order ( la, ordo) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between family and class. In biological classification, the order is a taxonomic rank used in the classification of organisms and recognized by the nomenclature codes. An immediately higher rank, superorder, is sometimes added directly above order, with suborder directly beneath order. An order can also be defined as a group of related families. What does and does not belong to each order is determined by a taxonomist, as is whether a particular order should be recognized at all. Often there is no exact agreement, with different taxonomists each taking a different position. There are no hard rules that a taxonomist needs to follow in describing or recognizing an order. Some taxa are accepted almost universally, while others are recognized only rarely. The name of an order is usually written with a capital letter. For some groups of organisms, their orders may follow ...

Jellyfishes
Jellyfish and sea jellies are the informal common names given to the medusa-phase of certain gelatinous members of the subphylum Medusozoa, a major part of the phylum Cnidaria. Jellyfish are mainly free-swimming marine animals with umbrella-shaped bells and trailing tentacles, although a few are anchored to the seabed by stalks rather than being mobile. The bell can pulsate to provide propulsion for highly efficient locomotion. The tentacles are armed with stinging cells and may be used to capture prey and defend against predators. Jellyfish have a complex life cycle; the medusa is normally the sexual phase, which produces planula larvae that disperse widely and enter a sedentary polyp phase before reaching sexual maturity. Jellyfish are found all over the world, from surface waters to the deep sea. Scyphozoans (the "true jellyfish") are exclusively marine, but some hydrozoans with a similar appearance live in freshwater. Large, often colorful, jellyfish are common in coast ...
