Abstract: The Hong Kong Jellyfish Project uses photographs and videos from citizen scientists to document the occurrence of jellyfish in this region. Based on these records, we describe sightings of two previously unrecorded species of box jellyfish, Malo filipina (Bentlage & Lewis, 2012) and an unidentified species of Morbakka sp. Gershwin, 2008, in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China. This understanding of where these species currently occur is important due to the potential impacts of box jellyfish on human activities and their role in local ecosystems.

New records of Tripedalia cystophora Conant, 1897 (Cubozoa, Carybdeida) along the southeastern Florida coastline https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/95098/ Check List 19(1): 57-62

DOI: 10.15560/19.1.57

Authors: Angela D. Witmer, Thomas Chesnes, Zachariah Miller, Scott Tedford, Alaina C. Bell

Abstract: Regional changes in coastal climates have recently resulted in many marine species expanding their natural ranges poleward. Among these newly migrating species is the Mangrove Box Jelly, Tripedalia cystophora Conant, 1897 (Cubozoa, Carybdeida). Discovery of this tropical species on the western coast of Florida has been well documented, but records on the eastern coast of Florida are less definitive. We identified 99 individuals in southeast Florida, including adults of both sexes. Evidence of a stable, breeding population of this box jelly on the southeast Florida coast was indicated.
