Characteristics
Thenaria (Endomyaria). Column smooth or provided with projections in the form of verrucae, marginal spherules, pseudospherules or vesicles which never have macrobasic amastigophors. Sphincter absent or endodermal diffuse to circumscribed. Tentacles simple, arranged in cycles. Never more than one tentacle communicating with each endo- and exocoel. Mesenteries not divisible into macro- and microcnemes. Perfect pairs of mesenteries rarely six, as a rule more than six.References

About This Page
The information provided on this page is based on Oscar Carlgren's 1949 catalog.Copyright © 1949 Swedish Academy of Sciences.
Please note that Carlgren's text contains a number of errors, and much of the information is now out of date. An update of the catalog is currently under preparation in Daphne Fautin's laboratory, and the results of this work will be incorporated in future versions of this page.
Keyboarding of Carlgren's catalog was done as part of a project to create an electronic database of the sea anemones of the world, funded by NSF Grant DEB9521819, awarded to Daphne G. Fautin. This grant is in the program Partnerships to Enhance Expertise in Taxonomy (PEET). Susanne Hauswaldt, Katherine Pearson, and April Wakefield-Pagels contributed to the keyboarding effort.
