Edwardsioidea
Edwardsiidae is a family of sea anemones. Edwardsiids have long thin bodies and live buried in sediments or in holes or crevices in rock. Genera The following genera are recognized within the family Edwardsiidae. * '' Drillactis'' Verrill, 1922 * ''Edwardsia ''Edwardsia'' is a genus of sea anemones, the type of the family Edwardsiidae.

Actiniaria
Sea anemones are a group of predatory marine invertebrates of the order Actiniaria. Because of their colourful appearance, they are named after the ''Anemone'', a terrestrial flowering plant. Sea anemones are classified in the phylum Cnidaria, class Anthozoa, subclass Hexacorallia. As cnidarians, sea anemones are related to corals, jellyfish, tube-dwelling anemones, and '' Hydra''. Unlike jellyfish, sea anemones do not have a medusa stage in their life cycle. A typical sea anemone is a single polyp attached to a hard surface by its base, but some species live in soft sediment, and a few float near the surface of the water. The polyp has a columnar trunk topped by an oral disc with a ring of tentacles and a central mouth. The tentacles can be retracted inside the body cavity or expanded to catch passing prey. They are armed with cnidocytes (stinging cells). In many species, additional nourishment comes from a symbiotic relationship with single-celled dinoflagellates, with zooxa ...

Angelo Andres
Angelo "Ginobili" Andres (24 March 1851, Tirano –16 July 1934, Milan) was an Italian Zoology, zoologist. Dr. Angelo Andres studied natural history in Pavia, Leipzig, London and Paris. He became a Professor in Moderna. From 1899–1926 he was director of University of Parma, Museo di Storia Naturale in Parma. He was a friend of Anton Dohrn. Andres was a supporter of Darwinism and gave anniversary lectures supporting his ideas.Glick, Thomas F; Shaffer, Elinor S. (2014). ''The Literary and Cultural Reception of Charles Darwin in Europe''.

Nematostella
''Nematostella'' is a genus of sea anemones in the family Edwardsiidae. Of the three species in the genus, the best known is the starlet sea anemone (''N. vectensis''), which has been extensively studied as a model organism in fields such as genetics, evolution, and ecology. The defining morphological apomorphy of ''Nematostella'' is the presence of nematosomes. Species: ''In'': Fautin, D. G. 2011. ''Hexacorallians of the World''.

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...
