A Preliminary Phylogeny Of Pelagiidae (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa), With New Observations Of Chrysaora Colorata Comb. Nov.
The nomenclature of the purple-striped jellyfish from southern California, currently known as Pelagia colorata Russell, 1964, is apparently in error. Our cladistic analysis of 20 characters for 15 pelagiid species indicates that P. colorata shares a common evolutionary history with members of the ge...
