Molecular phylogeny of campanulariid hydroids, with 10 of 11 accepted genera included.
Assessments of traditional and recently proposed taxonomic classifications.
Campanulariidae, Clytiidae and Obeliidae were recovered, but with a few incongruences.
Traditional diagnostic characters of several genera and species were found not to be informative.
Morphological characters need to be reassessed, with emphasis on their variation.
