History
editThe first species of Eukrohniidae, Eukrohnia hamata, was identified by Karl Möbius in 1875. The genus was named Eukrohnia by R. von Ritter-Záhony in 1909 after August David Krohn. The family was named Eukrohniidae by Takasi Tokioka in 1965.[1] One of the species, Eukrohnia fowleri, is bioluminescent.[3]
