Ctenophora orders

Platyctenida, also known as benthic comb jellies, is an order of comb jellies in the class Tentaculata. Platyctenids display a generally benthic lifestyle in contrast to most ctenophores being largely pelagic. Platyctenids display widely differing morphological characteristics from their pelagic counterparts, being highly flattened on their oral-aboral axis and having lost many key traits associated with the phylum.

Cydippida is an order of comb jellies. They are distinguished from other comb jellies by their spherical or oval bodies, and the fact their tentacles are branched, and can be retracted into pouches on either side of the pharynx. The order is not monophyletic, that is, it does not form a single clade.
