Chironex fleckeri, I am sorry to say, is wrong. Chironex feckeri is the species of the box jellyfish not the species. I am still trying to figure out the genus of the box jellyfish for a school project. I am sorry if this is no use to you but I just thought I would tell you that you go misinformation. Thank you for your time.
A jellyfish is the medusoid stadium of animals belonging to phyum Cnidaria, subphylum Medusozoa, which include: * class: Scyphozoa * class: Cubozoa * class: Staurozoa* class: Hydrozoa (only some hydrozoans have a medusoid stadium, so not all of them have jellyfishes) * class: Polypodiozoa Jellyfishes scientific names are ruled by the ICZN (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature). Each species must be identified with the genus name followed by the specific name (binomial nomenclature).
Carukua barnesi
The binomial nomenclature of the penicillate jellyfish is Polyorchis penicillatus. Jellyfish of the genus Polyorchis move by jet propulsion. The taxonomy of a pencillate jellyfish is: Animalia Cnidaria Hydrozoa Anthomedusae Polyorchidae Polyorchis penicillatus.
Chironex Flecken
Yes, the box jellyfish IS a true jellyfish.
No. If they were, why would they have the same name?
Chironex fleckeri
The scientific name for Boxer Jellyfish is Stomolophus meleagris.
Stings of some species of the class Cubozoa and the Box jellyfish, such as the famous and especially toxic Irukandji jellyfish, can be deadly. The sea wasp, a box jellyfish found in Australian waters, can kill an adult human within a few minutes.
The box jellyfish belongs to the phylum of Cnidaria. The class for the box jellyfish is Cubozoa and the order is carybdeida.
Box jellyfish (class Cubozoa) are cnidarian invertebratesdistinguished by their cube-shaped medusae. Box jellyfish most visibly differ from the Scyphozoan jellyfish in that they are rounded box shape, rather than domed or crown-shaped.
No. If they were, why would they have the same name?
