This has been a week of good progress asI finished and tested a prototype version of my key for deep cydippid ctenophores. Over the past few days I have expanded upon this base by adding images in both the stomadael and tentacular place, to provide a visual method to verify the classification.

I have also merged my key with a table of characters that Steve created for the described species. My aim for the rest of the time here is to gather the same level of morphological detail for the described species so that they can be fully integrated into the key. Hopefully I will have time to perform a similar process for the undescribed deep lobate ctenophores also, rounding out the key and bringing it closer to completion.
