Bolinopsis infundibulum is a lobate comb jelly, or ctenophore, found in cold and temperate waters of the North Atlantic and adjoining seas. Although its transparent, gelatinous body resembles that of a jellyfish, it belongs to the phylum Ctenophora and moves using rows of beating cilia called comb p...
Why this score
Ecologically important copepod and egg predator with bloom potential; respected but low public recognition.
Scoring methodology
Ocyropsis maculata is a ctenophore (family Ocyropsidae) notable for using muscular lobes to swim actively, an unusual locomotion strategy among comb jellies.
Why this score
Active swimming lobes make it biologically distinctive; niche reputation and low public familiarity.
Scoring methodology
Leucothea multicornis is a large lobate ctenophore, commonly called a comb jelly, in the family Leucotheidae. It occurs in tropical and subtropical ocean waters and is recognized by the elongated lateral lobes that extend from its gelatinous body. Like other ctenophores, it moves with rows of ciliar...
Why this score
Large ornate ctenophore with visual appeal; limited mainstream recognition and moderate scientific footprint.
Scoring methodology
Mnemiopsis mccradyi is a historical name for a lobate ctenophore, or comb jelly, described from Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, in 1900. Modern taxonomic databases generally treat it as a junior synonym of Mnemiopsis leidyi, the sea walnut, rather than as a separate sibling species. The accepted...
Why this score
Western Atlantic Mnemiopsis sibling species; ecological relevance, but overshadowed by invasive M. leidyi.
Scoring methodology
Leucothea pulchra is a lobate ctenophore, or comb jelly, in the family Leucotheidae and a species of the genus Leucothea. It is associated with the eastern Pacific and has broad oral lobes and elongated auricles, structures used while moving through the water and collecting prey. Like other ctenopho...
Why this score
Large ornate eastern Pacific ctenophore with aesthetic appeal; limited general recognition.
Scoring methodology
Bolinopsis vitrea is a species of lobate ctenophore, commonly called a comb jelly, rather than a true jellyfish. It is accepted as a marine species of the northwestern Atlantic and is especially associated with warmer Atlantic waters, including Florida waters. Its soft, lobed body is nearly transpar...
Why this score
Transparent lobate ctenophore with taxonomic interest; limited distinctive reputation outside specialists.
Scoring methodology
Aulacoctena acuminata is a marine ctenophore, or comb jelly, described by Mortensen in 1932. It is the only species in the genus Aulacoctena, which is placed in the monotypic family Aulacoctenidae. As a cydippid ctenophore, it belongs to the tentaculate branch of Ctenophora, a group whose members mo...
Why this score
Open-ocean cydippid with specialist morphology interest; little public visibility.
