Lesueuria Vitrea
''Lesueuria vitrea'' is a species of comb jelly in the family Bolinopsidae. It is the type species of the genus '' Lesueuria'' and is found in the Mediterranean Sea. Its type specimen was collected in the Bay of Nice. Taxonomy ''Lesueuria vitrea'' was first described by French zoologist Henri Milne-Edwards in 1841, when it was designated as the type species of the newly established genus ''Lesueuria''. Over the next century, several other zoologists collected or viewed the species and included it in their lists. Alessandro Spagnolini in 1870 believed the species may be what is now called '' Bolinopsis infundibulum'', William M'Intosh claimed to have found it in Scotland in 1888, and Fanny Moser expanded the genus by adding '' L. hyboptera'' and '' L. tiedemanni'' in 1908. Ole Theodor Jensen Mortensen agreed with Spagnolini in 1912, theorizing that ''L. vitrea'' was either a rare deep sea species, a heteromorphic form of ''B. infundibulum'', or specimens of ''B. infundibulum'' ...

Mnemiopsis Leidyi
''Mnemiopsis leidyi'', the warty comb jelly or sea walnut, is a species of Tentaculata, tentaculate ctenophore (comb jelly). It is native to western Atlantic coastal waters, but has become established as an invasive species in European and western Asian regions. Three species have been named in the genus ''Mnemiopsis'', but they are now believed to be different ecological form (zoology), forms of a single species ''M. leidyi'' by most zoologists. Description and ecology ''Mnemiopsis'' have an oval-shaped and transparent lobed body, with four rows of ciliated combs that run along the body vertically and glow blue-green when disturbed. They have several feeding tentacles. Unlike cnidarians, ''Mnemiopsis'' does not sting. Their body comprises 97% water. They have a maximum body length of roughly and a diameter of . It is wikt:euryoecious, euryoecious, tolerating a wide range of salinity (2 to 38 Practical Salinity Unit, psu), temperature (), and water quality. ''Mnemiopsis'' is a ...
