(2006), and adds the case when the velum is absent, as it will be shown below for the genus Glaciambulata gen. nov. The taxonomic status of some of the families included in Trachymedusae is unsettled yet. For example, Collins et al. (2008) have shown that the family Geryoniidae Eschscholtz, 1829 is derived from within another order, Limnomedusae Kramp, 1938, and the family Halicreatidae Fewkes, 1886 belongs to a ... : Published as part of Horia R.
