Above is a box jellyfish, but not the new one.

A new jellyfish, which is unique because it can survive the dry season, has been discovered off Australia. The bart jellyfish is found only at the Gove Peninsular "in the Top End." (The Top End is the second northernmost point on the continent of Australia, behind the Cape York Peninsula. It covers a rather vaguely-defined area of perhaps 400,000 square kilometres bounded by sea on three sides, the Indian Ocean on the west, the Arafura Sea to the north, and the Gulf of Carpentaria to the east, and by the almost waterless semi-arid interior of Australia to the south.)

Bart Currie.

The jellyfish’s name is in recognition of Dr. Bart Currie from the Menzies Research Institute "for his almost 20 years of researching the animal" (i.e. jellyfish, in general) in the Northern Territory.

Another example of a box jellyfish but not the bart variety.

Dr. Currie noted that "Jellyfish are animals which are … incredibly interesting. They have eyes, well at least these box jellyfish do. They can swim in a very purposeful direction, and they just really have so much to teach us."

Like many "new" species announced as discoveries of late, this jellyfish has had articles written on it by Bart Currie as far back, perhaps, as 2002. But it appears it was just announced on January 12th, in Australia, to have been named in Bart Currie’s honor.
