Taxonomy
C. pentastoma was described in 1810. Its original description is limited and in 2008 it was argued that it is insufficient for recognizing it, making the name a nomina dubia in 2010 (however, Chrysaora of southwestern Australia and New South Wales were not assigned to other species).[2] This view, with C. pentastoma as the only currently recognized species in Australia, is followed by the World Register of Marine Species.[4]
