  • Order Coronatae Vanhöffen 1892
  • Characteristics of the Order (from Kramp 1961)

Scyphomedusae with the umbrella margin cleft into lappets; with a single mouth opening provided with simple lips; with sense organs (rhopalia) and solid marginal tentacles arising from clefts between the lappets; with a circular, coronal furrow in the exumbrella, and peripheral to this a zone of gelatinous thickenings (pedalia) divided by radiating clefts alternating in position with the tentacles and rhopalia.

Coronatae Species

Based largely on Kramp (1961) and Mianzan & Cornelius (1999) Collections: M = morphology; D = DNA; Type = *
