Name that species

In 2006 a jellyfish stung a young girl swimming in the Caribbean. She went to the hospital, and it turned out that the jellyfish is a species that has not yet been described.

Now you have a chance to name it.

All you have to do is to visit the web site sponsored by COPUS and the Year of Science 2009, read a little more about the jellyfish, and submit a name that follows the rules of zoological naming (by the 14th of June¹), and your name may be the one selected for the new species.

If you don't want to pick a name, you can check back during the week of June 17th to June 21st to vote for your favorite among the scientists' top five. After June 23rd you can check back and find out which name was selected and read the paper in which the new species is described.
