"Comb Jellies" are the phylum Ctenophora. There are about 100 species in the phylum so if you want the scientific name (genus and species) you'll need to be more specific about what you are looking for.

The word ctenophore (pronounced /藞ti藧n蓹f蓴蓹r/ or /藞t蓻n蓹f蓴蓹r/, without the c) comes from Greek, kteno-, kteis, "comb" and -phore, meaning "bearer". It comes via the New Latin ctenophorus in the 19th century.
