Alatinidae sp. Z8VKAUB7J3 is an undescribed cubozoan jellyfish (family Alatinidae) assigned a provisional barcode identifier from a Smithsonian Natural History Museum specimen, representing a potentially distinct lineage within this family of box jellyfish. Cubozoans are distinguished by their box-shaped bell, corner-mounted tentacle clusters, and highly complex lens eyes, inhabiting tropical to subtropical marine environments. Their potent nematocyst-based venoms are of significant medical importance. Genomic data have been generated for this species and are available in public databases, enabling comparative studies of cnidarian evolution and ecology.
