Cystonectae is a suborder of siphonophores.^[2] It includes the Portuguese man o' war (Physalia physalis) and Bathyphysa conifera, sometimes called the "flying spaghetti monster."

In Japanese, it is called 嚢泳^[3] (Nōei).

The typical cystonect body plan has a pneumatophore (float) and siphosome (line of polyps) but no nectosome (propulsion medusae).^[4]
