The study of the life cycle has been essential to the unraveling of the systematics of the order Coronatae Vanhöffen, 1892. That is because only observations of polyps or medusae are not enough to distinguish species. Scyphozoan coronates are marine organisms abundant in deep sea environments, especially coral reefs due to their preference to settle in calcareous substrates. Due to the im…
The coronates, members of the order Coronatae, are considered the most basal group of Scyphozoa, containing almost 60 species. To unravel the systematics of the order is imperative the observation of the life cycle of each species, considering both polyp and medusa stages. However, recent studies focusing only at the polyp stage were able to promote advances in identification using only m…
Most of scyphozoans have a metagenetic life cycle. The similarity of polyps within the same genus highlights the need of studying life cycle for species identification. The genus Nausithoe Kölliker, 1853 (Nausithoidae, Coronatae) consist of 22 identified species. In this study, by performing morphological analyses on preserved Nausithoe specimens (polyp and medusae) from the Smithsonian's…
