Order
Narcomedusae
Remarks:
The families of the
Narcomedusae
have recently been reorganized by
Lindsay
et al.
(2017)
using DNA data.
Bentlage
et al
. (2018)
added more sequences. The 16S sequences of these studies and the ones from the present study were combined to get a maximum likelihood tree (
Fig. 48
). Although 16S has low resolving power above the genus level, some well supported nodes indicate that the
Cuninidae
and
Solmarisidae
are polyphyletic as already found by
Bentlage
et al.
(2018)
. As revision of the families is beyond the scope of this study, we here used the family level taxonomy of
Bouillon
et al.
(2006)
and
Lindsay
et al.
(2017)
, except for the genus
Otoporpa
.
