Taxonomy: Eukaryota (superkingdom) Animalia (kingdom) Cnidaria (phylum) Hydrozoa (superclass) Trachylinae (subclass) Trachymedusae (order) Rhopalonematidae (family) Aglantha (genus) Aglaura (genus) Arctapodema (genus) Benthocodon (genus) Colobonema (genus) Crossota (genus) LRJ complex (genus) Pantachogon (genus) Pectis (genus) Rhopalonema (genus) Sminthea (genus) Tetrorchis (genus) Vampyrocrossota (genus) Description General: 1). All “little red jellies” below 3,000 m should be annotated as Benthocodon 2). Both Benthocodon and Voragonema have a hole in the subumbrella. 3).The presence of centripetal canals would indicate Voragonema sp., but these are rarely seen on camera.
