Ctenophora
From Williams et al., 2017:
[Ctenophora, Xu Jinli et al., 1997, p. 115, 151–152.
Tax. sr. syn.: Chlamydophorella, by implication in He Chengquan et al. (2009, p.342), who transferred the type of Ctenophora to Chlamydophorella. Xu Jinli et al. (1997, p.115) spelled the name as "Ctenosphaera" but as "Ctenophora" on p.151 in associatiation with the English diagnosis; thus we consider the latter spelling to be correct. Moreover, Xu Jinli et al. (1997, p.151) indicated that the name is derived from the Latin meaning "comb-bearer", and thus the spelling Ctenophora makes more sense than Ctenosphaera on the basis of the etymological derivation.
Type: Ctenophora regularis, Xu Jinli et al., 1997 (pl.36, figs.1a–b)]
