a Beroe ovata, b unidentified cydippid, c "Tortugas red" cydippid, d Bathocyroe fosteri, e Mnemiopsis leidyi, and f Ocyropsis sp. [17]. Among animal phyla, the ctenophores are more complex than sponges, about as complex as cnidarians (jellyfish, sea anemones, etc.), and less complex than bilaterians (which include almost all other animals).
Ctenophora is a genus of true crane flies. The species are large (about 20 mm long, with 25-mm wingspans), shiny black craneflies with large yellow, orange, or red markings to mimic wasps. Males have comb-like antennae. The larvae are saproxylic. The species are confined to old deciduous forests, orchards, and other habitats with continuity of ...
Ctenorhabdotus capulus is an extinct species of ctenophore (or comb jelly), known from the Burgess shale in British Columbia, Canada.It is approximately 515 to 505 million years old and was equipped with 24 comb rows, three times as many as known from modern ctenophores. 5 specimens of Ctenorhabdotus are known from the Greater Phyllopod bed, where they comprise < 0.1% of the community.
Bathocyroe fosteri is mostly transparent with red pigmented inner gut walls. It has short comb rows and measures 2–4 cm across the oral lobes. These oral lobes are used to contain prey until they are drawn into the gut with its tentacles.
Mertensia ovum, also known as the Arctic comb jelly or sea nut, is a cydippid comb jelly or ctenophore first described as Beroe ovum by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1780. It is the only species in the genus Mertensia.

Inside the mouths of beroid ctenophores, macrocilia are present and essential for feeding. Each macrocillium contains multiple axonemes that are surrounded by a common membrane with a distinct capping structure at the distal tip.
