Diplulmaris Antarctica
''Diplulmaris antarctica'' is a species of Antarctic jellyfish in the family Ulmaridae. Description This species grows up to in diameter. ''Diplulmaris antarctica'' has 16 - 48 laterally compressed, white tentacles and a white frontal lobe. It has reddish-orange stomach gastrodermis and frilled oral arms of the same colour. This jellyfish is normally infested with '' Hyperiella dilatata''. These hyperiid amphipods appear as white dots on the surface of the bell, and do not appear to eat the medusa. Diet ''Diplulmaris antarctica'' feeds on copepods, euphausiid larvate, medusae, ctenophore, fish larvae, and molluscan pteropods such as ''Clione antarctica'' and ''Limacina antarctica''.Larson R.

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. 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 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. phylogenetic analysis should c ...

Jellyfish
Jellyfish and sea jellies are the informal common names given to the medusa-phase of certain gelatinous members of the subphylum Medusozoa, a major part of the phylum Cnidaria. Jellyfish are mainly free-swimming marine animals with umbrella-shaped bells and trailing tentacles, although a few are anchored to the seabed by stalks rather than being mobile. The bell can pulsate to provide propulsion for highly efficient animal locomotion, locomotion. The tentacles are armed with Cnidocyte, stinging cells and may be used to capture prey and defend against predators. Jellyfish have a complex Biological life cycle, life cycle; the medusa is normally the sexual phase, which produces planula larvae that disperse widely and enter a sedentary polyp (zoology), polyp phase before reaching sexual maturity. Jellyfish are found all over the world, from surface waters to the deep sea. Scyphozoans (the "true jellyfish") are exclusively marine habitats, marine, but some hydrozoans with a simila ...
