Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...

Family (biology)
Family (, : ) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". The delineation of what constitutes a family—or whether a described family should be acknowledged—is established and decided upon by active taxonomists. There are not strict regulations for outlining or acknowledging a family, yet in the realm of plants, these classifications often rely on both the vegetative and reproductive characteristics of plant species. Taxonomists frequently hold varying perspectives on these descriptions, leading to a lack of widespread consensus within the scientific community ...

Catostylidae
Catostylidae is a family of jellyfish, their common name is fat-armed jellies. Members of this family are characterized by their thick, sausage-like oral arms. Members of the family Catostylidae are small marine jellyfish with domed bells. The eight short oral arms are broad and three-sided. These jellies do sting but usually only leave minor burns. Biology These jellyfish have 3 layers that make up their bodies. They have an inner gastrodermis that comprises the digestive cavity. The gastrodermis possesses a single opening that functions as a mouth and an anus. The middle layer is called the mesoglea; a jelly-like substance that is flexible and dense. The outermost layer is the epidermis; it contains the nerve net. There is a network of branching canals linked with the primary ring canal, but these are not joined to the gastrovascular cavity except through the sixteen or thirty two radial canals. Some of these radial canals do not extend to the edge of the bell. There are ei ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Catostylus Mosaicus
''Catostylus mosaicus'' is also known as the jelly blubber or blue blubber jellyfish. The jelly blubber is distinguishable by its colour, which ranges from light blue to a dark blue or purple, and its large (250-300mm), rounded bell which pulses in a staccato rhythm. It occurs along the coastline of Eastern Australia in estuaries and shallow bays, and often blooms to high abundance. Taxonomy ''Catostylus mosaicus'' is a member of the class Sycphozoa and order Rhizostomae, which distinguishes them as possessing eight oral arms instead of tentacles. There are thought to be two monophyletic clades of the ''Castolysus mosaicus'' found in Eastern Australia: ''C. mosaicus mosaicus'' and ''C. mosaicus conservitus''. The two differ in mitochondrial DNA, colour, dimension, and bell depth. ''C mosaicus mosaicus'' is found in New South Wales and southern Queensland, and can be distinguished due to their small or nonexistent papillae and larger bell diameter.

Catostylus Perezi
''Catostylus perezi'', commonly known as the banana jellyfish, is a jellyfish in the family Catostylidae. Description ''Castostylus perezi'' has a smooth domed bell that is 147 mm in diameter and around eight sensory structures called rhopalia. The jellyfish also presents eight oral arms that can grow up to 85 mm long. When alive, the color of the jellyfish ranges from blue to transparent, but when preserved, it turns a creamy white color. This jellyfish is distinguished from other groups because it lacks appendages around its bell-shaped area. ''Castostylus perezi'' has been observed in the coastal waters of the Southern Arabian Peninsula and Persian Gulf region. Behavior and ecology ''Castostylus perezi'' move by thrusting their bell, which creates propulsion to help them get through the water. Due to having no control over which direction they go, they are passive feeders, feeding primarily on zooplankton and fish larvae using their oral arms. Though the jellyfish's ...
