Nausithoidae is a family of jellyfish.
Crown jellyfishes are the six families of true jellyfish that belong to the order Coronatae. They are distinguished from other jellyfish by the presence of a deep groove running around the umbrella, giving them the crown shape from which they take their name. Many of the species in the order inhabit deep sea environments.
Periphyllidae is a family of jellyfish containing four genera and six species. The most well-known member of the family, Periphylla periphylla, is usually considered a deep-sea species, but it forms large blooms in surface waters of Norwegian fjords.
Rhopilema is a genus of jellyfish.
Atolla is a genus of crown jellyfish in the order Coronatae. The genus Atolla was originally proposed by Haeckel in 1880 and elevated to the monotypic family level, as Atollidae by Henry Bigelow in 1913. The six known species inhabit the mesopelagic zone. The medusae possess multiple lobes called lappets at the bell margin. Medusae also have eight tentacles, alternating with eight rhopalia, and twice as many lappets occur as tentacles.
Lucernariidae is a family of stalked jellyfish containing two genera.
Prayidae is a family of marine invertebrates in the order Siphonophorae. They are colonial, and the colonies can superficially resemble jellyfish; although they appear to be a single organism, each specimen is actually a colony of Siphonophora.
Solmarisidae is a family of hydrozoans in the order Narcomedusae. The name is sometimes spelled "Solmaridae".
Forskalia is a genus of siphonophores. It is the only genus in the monotypic family Forskaliidae.
Catostylus is a genus of jellyfish in the family Catostylidae.
Alatina is a genus of box jellyfish within class Cubozoa. It is the largest of the three known genera in the family Alatinidae, and the only one which is not monotypic. It contains the following ten species:
Nausithoe is a genus of jellyfishes belonging to the family Nausithoidae.
Hippopodius is a genus of cnidarians belonging to the family Hippopodiidae.
Lucernaria is a genus of cnidarians belonging to the family Lucernariidae.
Atolla valdiviae is a species of true jellyfish in the family Atollidae. It is known from type specimens found in the north Pacific Ocean.
Nausithoe marginata is a species of crown jellyfish in the family Nausithoidae. The species has only been observed a handful of times, and may be extinct.
Nausithoe punctata is a species of crown jellyfish in the family Nausithoidae. They are widespread throughout the oceans, and are believed to be ~0.9 to 1.5 centimeters wide with a thick central disk.
Nausithoe rubra is a species of crown jellyfish in the family Nausithoidae. Adult medusa are believed to grow up to ~15 millimeters in size, and the species may be distributed worldwide. Species is confirmed to be in the East Atlantic, but may also reside in other oceans.
Nausithoe sorbei is a species of crown jellyfish in the family Nausithoidae. Ephyrae of the species are believed to be 4.7–5.0 millimeters in diameter.
Nausithoe thieli is a species of crown jellyfish in the family Nausithoidae. The species can be found in the Mediterranean Sea and Western Indian Ocean.
