Geryonia Péron & Lesueur, 1810: 329 View in CoL ,

type species Geryonia hexaphylla Péron & Lesueur, 1810 .

Carmarina Haeckel, 1864b: 466 ; type species Carmarina hastata Haeckel, 1864 by monotypy.

Remarks: Geryonia hexaphylla Péron & Lesueur, 1810 , a synonym of Medusa proboscidalis Forsskål, 1775 , was selected by Haeckel (1879) as type of the genus. Mayer (1910: 424) and Kramp (1961) give as type species Medusa proboscidalis Forsskål, 1775 for this genus, but this is incorrect as the name was not part of the original nominal species included in Geryonia by Péron & Lesueur.
