Stauromedusae

Order Stauromedusae: Haeckel 1879

Claudia Mills, with Yayoi Hirano, is compiling a list of valid species names with synonyms, images, and some explanatory text that is available at [Staurolist|http://faculty.washington.edu/cemills/Staurolist.html]. For additional background information on the Stauromedusae see also [1]. The list below is incomplete, being based largely on Kramp (1961).

Characteristics of the Order (from Kramp 1961)

Scyphozoa developing directly from the scyphistoma, consisting of a calyx and a more or less distinct aboral peduncle attached to substratum by an adhesive disk; typically with adradial marginal lobes (arms) carrying hollow, terminally knobbed tentacles.

From Kramp (1961) and Mianzan & Cornelius (1999). Collections: M = morphology, D = DNA. Type = *
