Kishinouyea is a stalked jellyfish genus in the family Kishinouyeidae. The genus name is a tribute to Japanese cnidariologist Kamakichi Kishinouye.

Homonymy

Mayer used the name Kishinouyea as a replacement name of Schizodiscus Kishinouye, 1902, for homonymy, as the name is already used to describe a lichen genus. Kishinouyea has been also used by Yoshio Ôuchi to describe a praying mantis genus that he quickly renamed Kishinouyeum in 1938, and that could be a junior synonym for Phyllothelys.[1]
