Description of Chironex indrasaksajiae Sucharitakul sp. nov. (cnidaria, cubozoa, chirodropida): A new species of box jellyfish from the gulf of Thailand

In this paper a new species of box jellyfish is described. The species, Chironex indrasaksajiae Sucharitakul sp. nov. (Cnidaria: Cubozoa, Chirodropida, Chirodropidae), from the Gulf of Thailand has been identified using morphological structure analysis together with mitochondrial and ribosomal (COI,...
