Figure 1

Phylogenetic relationships of the various cnidarian classes and subclasses. The class Myxozoa has been omitted in this figure, because of its uncertain position. Names highlighted in red indicate(s) a phylum (Cnidaria); in orange, a subphylum (Medusozoa); in green, a class; in blue, a subclass. The classes Staurozoa, Cubozoa, Scyphozoa, and Hydrozoa are often collected in the subphylum Medusozoa. The class Anthozoa can be subdivided into the subclasses Hexacorallia and Octocorallia. This figure is based on data from Technau and Steele (9), Zapata et al. (10), and Kayal et al. (11).
