Eutimalphes is a genus of hydrozoans in the family Eirenidae.
The genus contains the following species: [1]
Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel was a German zoologist, naturalist, eugenicist, philosopher, physician, professor, marine biologist and artist. He discovered, described and named thousands of new species, mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms and coined many terms in biology, including ecology, phylum, phylogeny, and Protista. Haeckel promoted and popularised Charles Darwin's work in Germany and developed the influential but no longer widely held recapitulation theory claiming that an individual organism's biological development, or ontogeny, parallels and summarises its species' evolutionary development, or phylogeny.
Solmissus, or dinner plate jellyfish, is a genus of hydrozoans. Its species are unique among cnidarians in that they actively hunt for prey as opposed to passively waiting for plankton to pass by. They are found in the deep waters of Monterey Bay, California. They are most likely to be found in the deep sea, mid water. They grow to be 20 cm (7.9 in) in diameter. These hydrozoans feed on gelatinous zooplankton, including salps and doliolids, ctenophores, jellyfish, and copepods. However, Solmissus may be limited to feeding on soft-bodied prey by the type of nematocysts on their tentacles (Mills).
Pyramimonadales are an order of green algae in the Chlorophyta. The chloroplasts of phototrophic euglenids probably came from endosymbiosis with a member of this order.
Monera is historically a biological kingdom that is made up of prokaryotes. As such, it is composed of single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus.
Solmundella is a genus of hydrozoan in the family Solmundaeginidae. It is monotypic, with the single species Solmundella bitentaculata.
Agalmatidae, or Agalmidae, is a family of siphonophores.
Cuninidae is a family of hydrozoans in the order Narcomedusae. They have dome-shaped bells and tentacles set above the undulating margin of the bell. Their gastric pouches contain the gonads situated in line with the tentacles, the number of pouches being the same as the number of tentacles. The pouches do not extend below the points of origin of the primary tentacles. Members of some genera have a peripheral canal system and others do not. No radial canals or secondary tentacles are present.
Solmarisidae is a family of hydrozoans in the order Narcomedusae. The name is sometimes spelled "Solmaridae".
Rhizostomatidae is a family of cnidarians in the class Scyphozoa.
Aeginura is a genus of hydrozoans in the family Aeginidae.
Aglantha is a genus of deep-sea hydrozoans of the family Rhopalonematidae.
Eirenidae is a family of hydrozoans.
Catablema is a genus of cnidarians belonging to the family Pandeidae.
Mitrocomium is a genus of cnidarians belonging to the family Lovenellidae.
Pteronema is a genus of hydrozoans belonging to the monotypic family Pteronemidae.
Codonium is a genus of hydrozoans belonging to the family Corynidae.
Staurodiscus is a genus of hydrozoans belonging to the family Hebellidae.
Staurostoma is a genus of cnidarians of the family Laodiceidae. The genus contains two described species.
Eutima is a genus of hydrozoans in the family Eirenidae.
Irenium is a genus of hydrozoans in the family Eirenidae.
