LAMPOCTEIS IS A MONOTYPIC GENUS OF COMB JELLIES~THE ONLY GENUS IN FAMILY LAMPOCTENIDAE
The sole species in this new genus is Lampocteis cruentiventer, the bloodybelly comb jelly.These jellies are typically found at a depth of 250-1,500 meters deep in the North Pacific Ocean.
The deep color of its belly may mask the animal's bioluminescence to hide it from potential predators. Its "combs," rows of cilia on its body, have a sparkling iridescence.Lampocteis need to be able to conceal their stomach in order to prevent their prey from lighting them up from the inside, effectively revealing its location. Specimens examined have ranged between 1.5 and 16 centimeters in length and 1.2 to 10 centimeters in width. Lampocteis are ctenophores, meaning that they are not true jellies. However, like other comb jellies, they use their hair-like cilia to navigate through the water.
