Trigoides
Trigoides aclis is an extinct species of comb jelly. The genus Trigoides is known from fossils from the Chengjiang Lagerstätte. It is proposed to be a type of ctenophore. A phylogenetic study of Cambrian stem-group ctenophores recovered Trigoides in Scleroctenophora, along with Galeactena, Maotianoascus, Thaumactena, Batofasciculus and Gemmactena.
