Bathykorus
''Bathykorus bouilloni'' is a species of jellyfish first described in 2010. It is a deep-sea species found in the Arctic Ocean, and seems to be common below about .〔(''Bathykorus bouilloni'' Raskoff , 2010 ) Arctic Ocean Diversity. Retrieved November 7, 2011.〕 It is the only species in its genus, ''Bathykorus''.〔 The genus name comes from the Greek ''bathy'' meaning "deep" and ''korus'' meaning "helmet", referring to the depth at which this species is found and to the shape of the bell. It's helmet-like appearance bears a resemblance to the helmet of Darth vader, giving it the nickname Darth vader jellyfish. The specific name is in honour of Dr. Jean Bouillon, (1926–2009), a marine zoologist.
==Description==
''B. bouilloni'' is a small, gelatinous jellyfish growing to around in width. It is transparent and pale blue, with four primary noncontractile tentacles set high above the margin of the dome-shaped bell. Lower down near the undulating margin are four short secondary tentacles, each with a statocyst on either side. The central circular mouth on the oral surface leads to a gastric chamber out of which lead 12 gastric pouches, three in each quadrant. The primary tentacles are solid and usually held above the bell in the direction of locomotion when the animal is foraging. The tentacles bear cnidocytes on the aboral side. The gonads have not yet been observed, perhaps because they were not ripe at the time of the year when observations were made (June/July).〔
