Chiropsalmus alipes is a species of box jellyfish within the order Chirodropida.[1] It is found on the Pacific coast of southern Mexico. This species has very long blade-like pedalia similar to those of Carybdeida, an order of box jellyfish. It also only has four tentacles when it reaches maturity.[2]
