a Beroe ovata, b unidentified cydippid, c "Tortugas red" cydippid, d Bathocyroe fosteri, e Mnemiopsis leidyi, and f Ocyropsis sp. [17].

The name comes from Ancient Greek κοῖλος (koîlos) ' hollow ' and ἔντερον (énteron) ' intestine ', referring to the hollow body cavity common to these two phyla.
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.
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.
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.
