Cyanea tzetlinii is a species of jellyfish in the family Cyaneidae.[1]
Distribution
This species is found in the White Sea.
Description
Cyanea tzetlinii distinguishes from all previously described Cyanea species by an eye-spot-bearing bulb formed at the base of each rhopalium. This well-recognizable morphological characteristic is supported at the molecular level by a substantial genetic distance in mitochondrial (CO1: 9.6–10.6%, 16S RNA: 3.1–3.5%) as well as nuclear (ITS: 5.0%, 18S RNA: 0.1%) loci, making it the sister species to Cyanea capillata.
