We describe a box jellyfish, sp. nov., based on samples collected from a shrimp pond in Hong Kong. This new species is morphologically distinct from other species of the family Tripedaliidae by the following combination of characters: (1) three pedalia at each bell corner; (2) each pedalium with one tentacle; and (3) velarium with forked canals. Phylogenetic analyses based on a concatenated dataset of the , and rRNA genes show that sp. nov. is sister to the morphologically similar species , but the two species exhibit 17.4% divergence in the rRNA gene, supporting sp. nov. as a distinct species. This new species represents the fourth described species of Tripedaliidae, and the first record of the family in Chinese coastal waters.
我们基于从香港一个虾塘采集的样本，描述了一种盒装水母新物种。该新物种在形态上与其他灯水母科物种不同，具有以下特征组合：(1) 每个钟形角有三个叶状体；(2) 每个叶状体有一条触手；(3) 缘膜有叉状管道。基于18S、5.8S和28S rRNA基因的串联数据集进行的系统发育分析表明，新物种是形态相似物种的姐妹种，但这两个物种在28S rRNA基因上存在17.4%的差异，支持新物种为一个独特的物种。这个新物种是灯水母科已描述的第四个物种，也是该科在中国沿海水域的首次记录。
