Systema Naturae includes representatives of every major lineage of the animal phylum Cnidaria. However, Linnaeus did not classify the members of the phylum as is now done, and the diversity of the group is not well represented. We contrast the Linnaean perspective on cnidarian diversity with the modern, phylogenetic perspective. For each order, we detail diversity at the family level, providing phylogenetic context where possible.

Phylogenetics of Hydroidolina (Hydrozoa: Cnidaria) (2008, background): “C O N C L U S I O N S Anthoathecata represents a diverse order of hydroidolinans that traditionally comprises two suborders, Filifera and Capitata (reviewed in Daly et al., 2007).”
Phylogenetics of Trachylina (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa) with new insights on the evolution of some problematical taxa (2008, background): “The name Tetraplatiidae first appeared in print in Daly et al.

A review and synthesis on the systematics and evolution of jellyfish blooms: advantageous aggregations and adaptive assemblages (2008, background): “…to considering predominantly the scyphozoan jellyfish within the cnidarian clade Medusozoa, which includes cubomedusae, hydromedusae, and scyphomedusae, for which there is a rich taxonomic history from Linnaeus to recent years (e.g., Linnaeus, 1758; Collins et al., 2006; Daly et al., 2007).”
The Parazoanthidae (Hexacorallia: Zoantharia) DNA taxonomy: description of two new genera (2010, background): “Despite the surprising absence of any mention of Parazoanthidae in a recent review of Hexacorallia (Daly et al. 2007), this family is probably the most diverse within the order Zoantharia.”
Phylogenomics provides a robust topology of the major cnidarian lineages and insights on the origins of key organismal traits (2018, unknown): “This finding is consistent with the conventional view of cnidarian body plan evolution [5, 61] and recent fossil evidence form the lower Cambrian [62].”
DNA Barcoding the Medusozoa using mtCOI (2010, background): “The mean within-class distance was 0.346 (s.d.70.048) for the Scyphozoa and 0.364 (s.d.70.124) for the Hydrozoa, which was similar to the variation between the classes (mean 0.364, s.d.70.122).”
Animal biodiversity: An introduction to higher-level classification and taxonomic richness (2011, background): “Cnidarian taxonomists currently do not consider myxozoans as cnidarians (Daly et al. 2007).”
