Abstract
CEDENO-POSSO, CRISTINA and LECOMPTE, ORLANDO. Boxjellyfish (Cnidaria: Cubozoa) from the Caribbean Colombian Waters. Acta biol.Colomb. [online]. 2013, vol.18, n.1, pp.205-210. ISSN 0120-548X.
Box-jellyfishes of the Colombian Caribbean are still poorly known, it is for this reason that exploratory sampling was done in the region of Santa Marta, Colombia, during the period between February and October 2009, to determine which species are in this region. Were collected and identified a total of five samples of box-jellyfishes to the Cubozoa class, three samples of Chiropsalmus genera (Chirodropida family) and two samples of Alatina (Alatinidae family), both specimens are the first record of boxjellyfishes from the Colombian Caribbean.
