Phylum Ctenophora: List of All Valid Species Names
"Because the scientific literature on the Ctenophora is widely dispersed and much of it is difficult to locate, I have compiled a list of all classes, orders, families, genera and species of ctenophores that seem to be in use at the present time. This list is the result of a rather extensive search of the literature, combined with a little independent thinking."
