Chiropsella Bronzie
''Chiropsella bronzie'' is a species of box jellyfish. It is considered much less of a threat to humans than some of its relatives. The species was described in 2006, and is one of four species in the genus ''Chiropsella''. ''Chiropsella bronzie'' can be found in shallow waters off the coast of Queensland, Australia. Taxonomy ''Chiropsella bronzie'' was previously misidentified in 1880 as '' Chiropsalmus quadrigata'', an Indian Ocean cubazoan of the same order. It was later correctly identified as a new species by Gershwin in 2006. The species name ''bronzie'' is named after the Royal Life Saving Society's bronze medallion award for a qualified Life Saver. The order Chirodropida consists of three major families: Chirodropidae, Chiropsalmidae'','' and Chiropsellidae containing the genera ''Meteorona'' and ''Chiropsella.'' Out of all cubazoan relationships, research has shown that the ''Meteorona kishinouyei'' and ''Chiropsella bronzie'' are the closest relatives, as they are t ...

Box Jellyfish
Box jellyfish (class Cubozoa) are cnidarian invertebrates distinguished by their box-like (i.e. cube-shaped) body. Some species of box jellyfish produce potent venom delivered by contact with their tentacles. Stings from some species, including ''Chironex fleckeri'', ''Carukia barnesi'', ''Malo kingi'', and a few others, are extremely painful and often fatal to humans. Taxonomy and systematics At least 51 species of box jellyfish were known as of 2018. These are grouped into two orders and eight families. A few new species have since been described, and it is likely that additional undescribed species remain. Cubozoa represents the smallest cnidarian class with approximately 50 species.

Chirodropida
Chirodropida is an order of box jellyfishes. They can be distinguished from other box jellyfish by the presence of branched muscular bases at the corners of their cubic umbrella, and of small saccules associated with the gastric cavity. They typically have multiple tentacles at each corner. References

Venom (poison)
Venom or zootoxin is a type of toxin produced by an animal that is actively delivered through a wound by means of a bite, sting, or similar action. The toxin is delivered through a specially evolved ''venom apparatus'', such as fangs or a stinger, in a process called envenomation. Venom is often distinguished from poison, which is a toxin that is passively delivered by being ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin, and toxungen, which is actively transferred to the external surface of another animal via a physical delivery mechanism. Venom has evolved in terrestrial and marine environments and in a wide variety of animals: both predators and prey, and both vertebrates and invertebrates. Venoms kill through the action of at least four major classes of toxin, namely necrotoxins and cytotoxins, which kill cells; neurotoxins, which affect nervous systems; myotoxins, which damage muscles; and haemotoxins, which disrupt blood clotting. Venomous animals cause tens of thousa ...
